Both things the section does: create the export promotion program, and fund it.
Nothing in the section is left out. It has only these two subsections.
The section creates a program directly rather than amending an older statute, so nothing recorded here depends on a document that is not indexed. The Commodity Credit Corporation, whose funds it draws on, is created by another law that is not indexed here.
