This section lets the President use limited funds for unexpected assistance authorized by this chapter and requires prompt reports to Congress. A separate subsection is repealed, and the section bars using the fund for gifts to foreign officials.
(a) Emergency assistance and reports. (1) Despite other law, the President may use funds available for this chapter, except part I of this subchapter, to provide assistance authorized by subchapter I for unexpected contingencies, following the rules for providing that assistance. This authority may not be used for more than $25,000,000 in any fiscal year. (2) Each time the President uses this authority, the President must promptly report it to the Speaker of the House and the Senate Committees on Foreign Relations and Appropriations.
(b) Repealed. This subsection has been repealed.
(c) Gifts to foreign officials. No part of this fund may pay for gifts to officials of a foreign government, whether the gifts were made before or after this section.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the President is authorized to use funds made available to carry out any provision of this chapter (other than the provisions of part I of this subchapter) in order to provide, for any unanticipated contingencies, assistance authorized by subchapter I of this chapter in accordance with the provisions applicable to the furnishing of such assistance, except that the authority of this subsection may not be used to authorize the use of more than $25,000,000 during any fiscal year.
The President shall report promptly to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate each time he exercises the authority contained in this subsection.
No part of this fund shall be used to pay for any gifts to any officials of any foreign government made heretofore or hereafter.
