What the document says
“The following sums in this Act are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.”
Section 5 is the appropriating sentence for the Act. It draws the sums the Act names from money in the Treasury that has not already been appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
What the document actually says
“The following sums in this Act are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.”
That sentence, in plain words
The sums named in this law come out of the Treasury. They come from money not already promised. They are for the year that ends September 30, 2026.
What this is about
Congress must say the words that free up money. This is that sentence. The lines later in the law name the amounts.

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.
