“Notwithstanding section 1101, no funds are provided by this Act for ``General Services Administration--Pre-election Presidential Transition''.”

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.
