Pub. L. 101-515, tit. IV, sec. 403

Sec. 403. Appropriations made in this title which are available for salaries and expenses shall be available, notwithstanding the limitations in 31 U.S.C. section 1345, for the Judicial Conference of the United States to sponsor and host the Fifth International Appellate Judges Conference in the United States: Provided, That an amount shall be available only if the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress are notified fifteen days in advance of any obligation or expenditure. The Judicial Conference may supplement such appropriations with other funds made available by any department or agency for the purposes of technical foreign aid, educational and cultural programs with the people of foreign countries, or commemorating the bicentennial anniversary of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights: Provided, That any supplementation shall be only for the expenses of the Fifth International Appellate Judges Conference. The Director of the Administrative Office may also accept and utilize gifts of funds, to be deposited as a special deposit account in the Treasury, for the expenses of the Fifth International Appellate Judges Conference for reimbursement of appropriations or direct expenditure, provided that any unexpended balance of the special deposit account shall be returned to the donor or donors. For the purpose of the conference, the Director is authorized to pay for local travel and incidental expenses of foreign participants and dependent members of their immediate household, to pay for per diem to such persons in lieu of subsistence at rates prescribed by the Director, and to conduct and pay for the activities set forth in subsections (1), (2), (9), (15), and (18) of section 804 of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, as amended (22 U.S.C. section 1474). Appropriations for commemorating the bicentennial or for salaries and expenses of the Judiciary shall not be made available by this section for the travel and incidental expenses of dependents. Nothing in this section precludes payment for the travel and other expenses of foreign participants and their dependents by any other department or agency, or by the Director on their behalf, as authorized by law.
