Sec. 601. Subsection (b) of the first section of the Act approved June 6, 1958 (D.C. Code, sec. 9–220(b)) is amended to read as follows: “(b) To assist in financing the cost of constructing facilities required for activities financed by the general fund of the District, the Commissioners are hereby authorized to accept loans for the District from the United States Treasury and the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to lend to the Commissioners such sums as may hereafter be appropriated, except that (1) the total principal amount of loans advanced pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250,000,000 and (2) $50,000,000 of the principal amount of loans authorized to be advanced pursuant to this subsection shall be utilized to carry out the purposes of the National Capital Transportation Act of 1965. Any loan for use in any fiscal year must first be specifically requested of the Congress in connection with the budgets submitted for the District, with a full statement of the work contemplated to be done and the need thereof, and such work must be approved by the Congress. Such approval shall not be construed to alter or to eliminate the procedures for consultation, advice, and recommendation provided in the National Capital Planning Act of 1952 (D.C. Code, sec. 1–1001 et seq.). Such loans shall be in addition to any other loans heretofore or hereafter made to the Commissioners for any other purpose, and when advanced shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the general fund of the District.”
