The whole of subsection (a). It ties the Act to a special message the President sent to the House of Representatives and the Senate on June 3, 2025 proposing the rescission of budget authority under section 1012 of part B of title X of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 682 et seq.), and provides that the rescissions listed in subsection (b) take effect immediately on the date of enactment.

Paragraph (20)(A). It rescinds the amounts made available for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal year 2026 by Public Law 118-47. Unlike the nineteen rescissions before it, it names no dollar figure and is not limited to unobligated balances: it reaches the amounts made available. Public Law 118-47 is not indexed here, so the figure it carried is not recorded.

Subsection (a), which says when the rescissions take effect, and each of the twenty numbered rescissions in subsection (b): the account each one is taken from, the appropriations act that made the money available, the amount, and every proviso that carves money out of a rescission.
The site does not restate what any of the appropriations acts named here said, or what the accounts were spent on before this Act, because those documents are not indexed here. It does not record what the President's special message of June 3, 2025 said, for the same reason.
The section rescinds unobligated balances, that is, money that had not yet been committed. It does not state how much was unobligated in any account on the date of enactment, so the amounts it names are the amounts rescinded and not a measure of any account's remaining balance. Paragraph (20) rescinds amounts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting without naming a figure, so no figure is recorded here. The section's own operative words are that amounts are rescinded; the site records the mandatory form, since subsection (a) says the rescissions shall take effect. Two quotations start inside an account heading, because the printer broke the heading across a line and quoting across the break would put a space in the account's name.
