What the document says
“None of the funds in this Act shall be used to reduce the Coast Guard's legacy Operations Systems Center mission or its government-employed or contract staff levels.”
Section 215. Money in this Act may not be used to cut back the mission of the Coast Guard's legacy Operations Systems Center, or to cut its staffing, whether those staff are federal employees or contractors.
What the document actually says
“None of the funds in this Act shall be used to reduce the Coast Guard's legacy Operations Systems Center mission or its government-employed or contract staff levels.”
That sentence, in plain words
This money may not be used to shrink one Coast Guard center. Its work and its staff must stay as they are.
What this is about
The center runs computer systems for the service. The rule covers both federal staff and hired staff.

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.
