What the document says
“for miscellaneous investigations, and, when authorized by law, surveys and detailed studies, and plans and specifications of projects prior to construction, $150,384,000, to remain available until expended”
The investigations account of the civil works program of the Corps of Engineers. It pays for the study and design work that comes before a project is built. A proviso bars the Secretary from deviating from the work plan once the plan has been sent to the appropriations committees of both Houses.
What the document actually says
“for miscellaneous investigations, and, when authorized by law, surveys and detailed studies, and plans and specifications of projects prior to construction, $150,384,000, to remain available until expended”
That sentence, in plain words
Corps studies get $150,384,000. The money has no end date.
What this is about
The Corps studies a project before it builds it. That means surveys, plans and drawings. Once it files a work plan it must stick to it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
