What the document says
“none of the funds rescinded shall affect the administration of United States commodity-based food aid, including the Food for Peace program and the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program.”
The proviso to paragraph (14). It states that none of the funds rescinded shall affect the administration of United States commodity-based food aid, and names the Food for Peace program and the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. It is worded like the second proviso to paragraph (12), but without that proviso's words under this paragraph.
What the document actually says
“none of the funds rescinded shall affect the administration of United States commodity-based food aid, including the Food for Peace program and the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program.”
That sentence, in plain words
This cut may not change how food aid is run. The same two programs are named again.
What this is about
The words here are a little shorter than the ones used before. They do not say under this paragraph.
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.

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.
