What the document says
“For necessary expenses of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for operations and support, $1,667,038,000: Provided, That not less than $3,000,000 shall be for the Emergency Management Assistance Compact”
The operations and support appropriation for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Of the total, not less than $3,000,000 is directed to the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, the agreement under which states send help to one another during a disaster.
What the document actually says
“For necessary expenses of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for operations and support, $1,667,038,000: Provided, That not less than $3,000,000 shall be for the Emergency Management Assistance Compact”
That sentence, in plain words
FEMA gets $1,667,038,000 to run on. At least $3,000,000 goes to a state aid compact.
What this is about
FEMA helps after floods, fires and storms. This money pays its staff. The compact lets states lend each other crews.

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.
