The government can move money between federal agencies to help fund the Organization's work. This can happen without following the usual rules for approving payments. Agencies can also give the Organization supplies and services if the Organization pays them back.

(a) Money that Congress set aside under section 289b(a) can be transferred to any federal department, agency, or independent government office. The receiving agency uses the money to carry out the purposes of section 289b(a). Once transferred, the money follows the normal budget rules of that agency, not the sending agency. The transfer does not have to follow two general purchasing rules: section 3324(a) and (b) of title 31, and section 6101 of title 41. Those sections normally control how the government pays for things in advance and how it makes contracts. (b) If the Organization asks, a federal department, agency, or independent government office can supply it with goods or services. The agency can buy the goods first if the Organization advances the money to pay for them. The Organization must reimburse the agency for the cost and any necessary expenses. When the agency is reimbursed, it chooses where to put the money. It can credit the reimbursement back to the same appropriation, fund, or account it used to pay for the supplies or services. Or it can credit the money to whatever appropriate appropriation, fund, or account is currently active at the time of the reimbursement.
