This law funds the Agriculture Secretary's work under this program. Congress authorized whatever was needed through 2013, then $2 million yearly through 2023. No more than 3% can go to administration, and after 1988 the focus shifts away from native latex.

Congress authorized appropriating to the Secretary of Agriculture, to carry out this subchapter: (1) whatever amount was necessary for each fiscal year from 1991 through 2013; and (2) $2,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2014 through 2023. (b) Administration and management. No more than 3 percent of the funds authorized under (a) may be spent on administering and managing the program. (c) Contract authority as limited by amounts provided in appropriations acts. Despite anything else in this subchapter, the authority to sign contracts only applies for a fiscal year to the extent, and in the amounts, that appropriations laws actually provide. (d) Activities limited to critical materials other than native latex after fiscal 1988. Despite anything else in this subchapter, after the fiscal year ending September 30, 1988, the Secretaries and the Joint Commission had to limit their work under this subchapter to critical agricultural materials other than native latex.
