Not more than $50,000,000 of the funds available under this subsection may be allocated to any one country in any fiscal year.
(b) Whenever the President determines it to be important to the national interest, he may use funds available for the purposes of chapter 4 of Part I in order to meet the responsibilities or objectives of the United States in Germany, including West Berlin, and without regard to such provisions of law as he determines should be disregarded to achieve this purpose.
(c) The President is authorized to use amounts not to exceed $50,000,000 of the funds made available under this Act pursuant to his certification that it is inadvisable to specify the nature of the use of such funds, which certification shall be deemed to be a sufficient voucher for such amounts.
