innocent victims of civil strife. Therefore, the President is authorized 
to furnish assistance, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, 
for the longer term rehabilitation and resettlement needs of such 
victims. Funds for this purpose should be used to assist African 
governments in providing semipermanent housing, potable water supply 
systems, and sanitary facilities which are generally not provided by 
existing refugee relief agencies.

(b) Authorization of appropriations

    There are authorized to be appropriated to the President for the 
purposes of this section, in addition to amounts otherwise available for 
such purposes, $15,000,000 for the fiscal year 1981. Amounts 
appropriated under this subsection are authorized to remain available 
until expended.

(c) Provisions of section 2292 of this title applicable to this section

    Assistance under this section shall be provided in accordance with 
the policies and general authorities contained in section 2292 of this 
title.
