Congress may fund three things under this law. It can pay to run the Astrophysical Observatory and take solar observations at high altitudes. It can also fund building repairs and preparing publications for the Smithsonian Institution.

This section lets Congress set aside money for three purposes at the Smithsonian Institution. First, it funds the upkeep of the Astrophysical Observatory and the work of taking solar observations at high altitudes. Second, it funds repairs and changes to buildings and grounds the Smithsonian uses, both in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. Third, it funds the preparation of manuscripts, drawings, and illustrations used in the Smithsonian's publications.
