Sec. 1623. Authorization of appropriations; allotments to States
(a) In order to conduct research and service work in connection with
the preparation for market, processing, packaging, handling, storing,
transporting, distributing, and marketing of agricultural products as
authorized by this chapter, there is hereby authorized to be
appropriated the following sums:
(1) $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and
each subsequent fiscal year.
(2) An additional $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1948, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(3) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1949, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(4) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1950, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(5) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1951, and each subsequent fiscal year.
(6) In addition to the foregoing, such additional funds
beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, and thereafter,
as the Congress may deem necessary.
Such sums appropriated in pursuance of this chapter shall be in addition
to, and not in substitution for, sums appropriated or otherwise made
available to the Department of Agriculture.
(b) The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make available
from such funds such sums as he may deem appropriate for allotment to
State departments of agriculture, State bureaus and departments of
markets, State agricultural experiment stations, and other appropriate
State agencies for cooperative projects in marketing service and in
marketing research to effectuate the purposes of this chapter: Provided,
That no such allotment and no payment under any such allotment shall be
made for any fiscal year to any State agency in excess of the amount
which such State agency makes available out of its own funds for such
research. The funds which State agencies are required to make available
in order to qualify for such an allotment shall be in addition to any
funds now available to such agencies for marketing services and for
marketing research. The allotments authorized under this section shall
be made to the agency or agencies best equipped and qualified to conduct
the specific project to be undertaken. Such allotments shall be covered
by cooperative agreements between the Secretary of Agriculture and the
cooperating agency and shall include appropriate provisions for
preventing duplication or overlapping of work within the State or States
cooperating. Should duplication or overlapping occur subsequent to
approval of a cooperative project or allotment of funds, the Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized and directed to withhold unexpended
balances on such projects notwithstanding the prior approval thereof.
