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 sentence that turns the figures that follow into appropriations. Everything in divisions A through D is drawn against it.
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 money named below comes out of the Treasury. It is for the year that ends on September 30, 2026.
What this is about
Congress has to say the words that release money. This is that sentence. The rest of this part says how much and for what.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
