22 U.S.C. § 290i–13 — General callable capital increase

(a) Subscription authorized: (1) In general: The U.S. Governor of the Bank may agree, for the United States, to buy 800,000 additional shares of the Bank's stock. (2) Limitation: This only takes effect once Congress approves the money in advance through an appropriations law. (b) Authorization of appropriations: Congress authorizes up to $7,800,000,000, with no fiscal-year deadline, for the Secretary of the Treasury to pay for these shares. All of this money is for callable shares — shares the Bank can demand payment for later if it needs the money.
