Availability of wheat for export; utiliza- tion of funds and facilities; prices; authoriza- tion of appropriations The President is authorized, acting through the Commodity Credit Corporation, to make available or cause to be made available, not- withstanding the provisions of any other law, such quantities of wheat and wheat-flour and at such prices as are necessary to exercise the rights, obtain the benefits, and fulfill the obliga- tions of the United States under the Inter- national Wheat Agreement of 1949 signed by Australia, Canada, France, the United States, Uruguay, and certain wheat importing coun- tries, along with the agreements signed by the United States and certain other countries revis- ing and renewing such agreement of 1949 for pe- riods through July 31, 1965 (hereinafter collec- tively called the ‘‘International Wheat Agree- ment’’). Nothing in this chapter shall be con- strued to preclude the Secretary of Agriculture, in carrying out programs to encourage the ex- portation of agricultural commodities and prod- ucts thereof pursuant to section 612c of this title, from utilizing funds available for such pro- grams in such manner as, either separately or jointly with the Commodity Credit Corporation, to exercise the rights, obtain the benefits, and fulfill all or any part of the obligations of the United States under the International Wheat Agreement or to preclude the Commodity Credit Corporation in otherwise carrying out wheat and wheat-flour export programs as authorized by law. Nothing contained in this chapter shall limit the duty of the Commodity Credit Cor- poration to the maximum extent practicable consistent with the fulfillment of the Corpora- tion’s purposes and the effective and efficient conduct of its business to utilize the usual and customary channels, facilities, and arrange- ments of trade and commerce in making avail- able or causing to be made available wheat and wheat-flour under this chapter. The pricing pro- visions of section 1510(e) 1 of title 22 and section 713a–9 of title 15, shall not be applicable to do- mestic wheat and wheat-flour supplied to coun- tries which are parties to the International Wheat Agreement and credited to their guaran- teed purchases thereunder on and after August Page 953 TITLE 7—AGRICULTURE § 1642 1, 1949, and up to and including June 30, 1950. Where prices in excess of the International Wheat Agreement prices have been paid for such wheat and wheat-flour financed by the Eco- nomic Cooperation Administration on or after August 1, 1949, and up to and including June 30, 1950, the Secretary of Agriculture or Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to reimburse the Economic Cooperation Administration for such excess amounts. Funds realized from such reimbursement shall revert to the respective ap- propriation or appropriations from which funds were expended for the procurement of such wheat and wheat-flour. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to make payments to the Commodity Credit Corporation of its estimated or actual net costs of carrying out its functions hereunder. Such net costs in connection with the International Wheat Agreement, 1959, shall include those with respect to all transactions which qualify as com- mercial purchases (as defined in such agree- ment) from the United States by importing member countries. Such net costs in connection with the International Wheat Agreement, 1962, shall include those with respect to all trans- actions which qualify as commercial purchases (as defined in such agreement) from the United States by member and provisional member im- porting countries, including transactions en- tered into prior to the deposit of instruments of acceptance or accession by any of the countries involved, if the loading period is not earlier than the date the agreement enters into force. The Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized in carrying out its functions under this chapter to utilize, in advance of such appropriations or payments, any assets available to it.
