Special Fund.

§ 223. Special Fund. (a) There is established a Special Fund (hereinafter in this section referred to as the “fund”) in order to provide additional incentives to Federal departments and agencies to develop more effective drug abuse prevention functions and to give the Director the flexibility to encourage, and respond quickly and effectively to, the development of promising programs and approaches. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, sums appropriated to the fund may be utilized only after their transfer, upon the order of the Director and at his discretion, to any Federal department or agency (other than the Office) and only for the purpose of (1) developing or demonstrating promising new concepts or methods in respect of drug abuse prevention functions; or (2) supplementing or expanding existing drug abuse prevention functions which the Director finds to be exceptionally effective or for which he finds there exists exceptional need. (c) Not more than 10 per centum of such sums as are appropriated to the fluid may be expended by the Director through the Office to develop and demonstrate promising new concepts or methods in respect of drug abuse prevention functions.
