(5) with the availability of increased resources, the United States exchange-of-persons program could be greatly strengthened, both qualitatively and quantitatively. (b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that— (1) United States exchange-of-persons activities should be strengthened; (2) the allocation of resources necessary to accomplish this improvement would constitute a highly cost-effective means of enhancing the United States national security; and (3) because of the integral and continuing national security role of exchange-of-persons programs, such activities should be accorded a dependable source of long-term funding. (c) 4 The amount obligated by the United States Information Agency each fiscal year for grants for exchange-of-persons activities shall be increased, through regular annual increases, so that by the fiscal year 1986 the amount obligated for such grants is at least double (in terms of constant dollars) the amount obligated for such grants for the fiscal year 1982.

(2) If the amount appropriated for the United States Information Agency for the fiscal year 1983 is less than the amount authorized for the fiscal year 1983, then the amounts specified in subparagraphs (A) through (C) of paragraph (1) shall each be deemed to be reduced to the amount which bears the same ratio to the specified amount as the amount appropriated bears to the amount authorized. For purposes of this paragraph (A) the term "amount appropriated" means the amount appropriated under section 302 of this Act (less any rescissions), and does not include amounts appropriated under section 704 of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (relating to nondiscretionary personnel costs and currency fluctuations) or under any other provision of law; and (B) the term "amount authorized" means the amount authorized to be appropriated by section 302 of this Act, less an amount equal to any amount which was withheld from appropriation (or was rescinded) in order to reduce the amount available for a particular program or activity. (3) The Director of the United States Information Agency may authorize up to 5 percent of the amount earmarked under subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of paragraph (1) to be used for a purpose other +22 U.S.C. 2455 note. h.
