The operations and support appropriation for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, one of the largest accounts in the Act. The quotation is the close of an account paragraph that runs for hundreds of words and lists what the money may be spent on, including the transportation of unaccompanied alien minors, air and marine support to other agencies, and the vehicles and vessels named here. Of the total, $550,000,000 stays available through September 30, 2027, and $3,274,000 is drawn from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.

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.
