Congress may fund the yearly U.S. payment to the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The payment covers the U.S. share of the agency's costs. It can never be more than 16 percent of all member countries' contributions that year.

Congress may appropriate whatever money is needed each year to pay the United States' share of the expenses of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The amount owed is set under Article VIII of the Agency's founding statute. But there's a cap: the U.S. payment can never be more than 16 percent of the total contributions assessed against all Participating Members of the Agency for that year.
