This law authorizes Congress to appropriate money for the US share of the FAO's expenses. The Secretary of State directs how that money gets spent. The US share can never exceed 33.33 percent of the Organization's total yearly budget.

Congress authorizes appropriating money from the Treasury — money not already committed elsewhere — for whatever amount is needed to pay the United States' share of the Organization's expenses. The Secretary of State directs how that money gets used. But there's a limit: the United States' share of the Organization's total yearly budget can never be more than 33.33 percent.
