The U.S. can pay yearly dues to join the Inter American Statistical Institute. The Secretary of State directs how the money is spent. Two conditions limit this: enough other countries must be paying dues too, and the U.S. share can't exceed $35,000 a year.

This section authorizes annual appropriations, from Treasury money not otherwise appropriated, so the United States can become an adhering member of the Inter American Statistical Institute. The Secretary of State directs how the money is spent, to pay the U.S. share of the Institute's support. Two conditions apply: (1) U.S. membership dues for a fiscal year cannot be paid unless, in the prior fiscal year, at least eight other American nations were in good standing as adhering members, and at least eight of those other members — for the last year they owed dues — paid dues totaling at least $10,000. (2) The total cost to the United States for adhering membership cannot exceed $35,000 in any fiscal year.
