What the document says
“None of the funds made available in this Act may be used for first-class travel by the employees of agencies funded by this Act in contravention of sections 301-10.122 through 301-10.124 of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations.”
Section 516. Money in this Act may not pay for first-class travel by employees of the agencies it funds, except as the federal travel regulations at sections 301-10.122 through 301-10.124 of title 41 allow.
What the document actually says
“None of the funds made available in this Act may be used for first-class travel by the employees of agencies funded by this Act in contravention of sections 301-10.122 through 301-10.124 of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations.”
That sentence, in plain words
No money here may pay for a first class seat. The travel rules set the few times it is allowed.
What this is about
Those rules sit in the federal travel code. They are not indexed here. They allow it in rare cases, such as a medical need.

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.
