What the document says
“There is authorized to be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck under this Act.”
Subsection (a) says where the money for the medals comes from. Whatever amounts are necessary to pay for the medals struck under the Act may be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The subsection names no figure and no new appropriation, and the fund itself was created by a statute that is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“There is authorized to be charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals struck under this Act.”
That sentence, in plain words
The cost of the medals is charged to a Mint fund. Whatever amount is needed can be taken from it.
What this is about
The Mint is the part of the Treasury that makes coins. The fund is its own pot of money. The law sets no dollar limit here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What the document says
“Amounts received from the sale of duplicate bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.”
Subsection (b) closes the loop subsection (a) opens. Money received from selling the bronze duplicates that section 4 permits is to be deposited into the same fund the cost was charged against. This is a direction rather than a permission, and it applies only to duplicates sold under section 4.
What the document actually says
“Amounts received from the sale of duplicate bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money from selling the bronze copies must go into the Mint fund.
What this is about
That is the same fund the medals were paid for from. So the money goes back where it came from. Section 4 is the part that allows the copies.

Both of the section's provisions: the authority to charge the cost of the medals against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, and the direction that sale money go into that same fund.
Nothing. The section carries no other provision. The approval line and the legislative history the Government Publishing Office prints after the last section are held out of the indexed text.
The section names a fund that an older statute created. That statute is not indexed here, so nothing recorded here says what else the fund holds or pays for. The section states no dollar figure: the amount is whatever is necessary. It appropriates nothing new, and this record does not say whether the fund holds enough.
