Starting October 1, 1980, Congress may provide whatever money is needed to carry out the law creating Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park. However, contracts, obligations, or payments under this law can only happen to the extent Congress has already provided the money in an appropriations act.

Effective October 1, 1980, Congress authorizes appropriating whatever sums are necessary to carry out this subchapter. However, no matter what else this subchapter says, the power to sign contracts, take on obligations, or make payments under it only applies up to the amount, and in the way, that a separate appropriations act has already approved in advance.
