EXPANDED AUTHORITY FOR THE USE ABROAD OF COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION STOCKS; ACQUISITION AND DONATION OF ULTRA-HIGH TEMPERATURE PROCESSED MILK

SEC. 502. Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431) is amended by— (1) inserting "(a)" immediately after "SEC. 416."; (2) striking out "section" each place that word appears and inserting in lieu thereof "subsection"; and (3) adding at the end thereof the following new subsections: "(b) Dairy products and wheat acquired by the Commodity Credit Corporation through price support operations, which the Secretary determines meet the criteria specified in subsection (a), may be furnished by the Secretary for carrying out title II of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as approved by the Secretary, and for such purposes as approved by the Secretary. The provisions of section 203 of that Act shall apply to commodities furnished under this subsection. Agreements may be entered into under this subsection to provide dairy products and wheat in installments over an extended period of time. To the maximum extent practicable, expedited procedures shall be used in implementing the provisions of this subsection. Commodities and products furnished under this subsection may be sold or bartered, as approved by the Secretary, solely as follows: (1) sales and barter which are incidental to the donation of the commodities or products, (2) sales and barter, the proceeds of which are used to finance the distribution, handling, and processing costs of the donated commodities in the importing country or other activities in the importing country that are consistent with providing food assistance to needy people, and (3) sales and barter of commodities and products donated to intergovernmental organizations, insofar as they are consistent with normal programming procedures in the distribution of commodities by those organizations. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, no portion of the proceeds or services realized from such sales or barter may be used to meet operating and overhead expenses. The cost of commodities furnished under this subsection and expenses incurred under section 203 of that Act in connection therewith shall be in addition to the level of assistance programmed under that Act and shall not be considered expenditures for international affairs and finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, dairy products and wheat may not be made available for disposition under this subsection in amounts that will, in any way, reduce the amounts of commodities that traditionally are made available through donations to domestic feeding programs or agencies.
