This section lets the Secretary pay official reception, entertainment, and representation expenses for representing the United States and its interests. It asks the Department to use U.S. products when practicable.

Despite section 5536 of title 5, the Secretary may arrange official receptions and pay entertainment and representation expenses, including family-member expenses, so the Department and Service can properly represent the United States and its interests. To the greatest practical extent, the Secretary must provide for using U.S. products, including American wine.
