This law lets the Treasury Secretary commit U.S. resources to the IMF's Supplementary Financing Facility. The commitment is capped at 1,450 million Special Drawing Rights and requires Congress to appropriate the money first. The Secretary must also track any change in the value of related monetary assets.

(a) Availability of resources. For the United States to take part in the International Monetary Fund's Supplementary Financing Facility — created by decision number 5508–(77/127) of the Fund's Executive Directors — the Secretary of the Treasury may make resources available, as spelled out in the Fund's decision number 5509–(77/127), up to the equivalent of 1,450 million Special Drawing Rights. (b) Adjustments in the value of monetary assets. The Secretary must track, through the stabilization fund created under section 5302 of title 31, any change in the value of the monetary assets the United States holds because of this participation in the facility. (c) Authorization of appropriations. No matter what any other part of this section says, the Secretary's power to commit resources under this section only reaches as far as Congress appropriates in advance. Starting October 1, 1978, Congress authorizes whatever amount is necessary to carry out subsection (a) — up to the dollar equivalent of 1,450 million Special Drawing Rights — to be appropriated to the Secretary, with no fiscal-year deadline.
