(a) Authorization of appropriations

    There are authorized to be appropriated for the purpose of carrying 
out the activities of the Corporation, $90,000,000 for fiscal year 1975, 
$100,000,000 for fiscal year 1976, and such sums as may be necessary for 
fiscal year 1977. There are authorized to be appropriated for the 
purpose of carrying out the activities of the Corporation $205,000,000 
for the fiscal year 1978, and such sums as may be necessary for each of 
the two succeeding fiscal years. The first appropriation may be made 
available to the Corporation at any time after six or more members of 
the Board have been appointed and qualified. Appropriations for that 
purpose shall be made for not more than two fiscal years, and shall be 
paid to the Corporation in annual installments at the beginning of each 
fiscal year in such amounts as may be specified in Acts of Congress 
making appropriations.

(b) Availability of funds

    Funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall remain available 
until expended.

(c) Non-Federal funds

    Non-Federal funds received by the Corporation, and funds received by 
any recipient from a source other than the Corporation, shall be 
accounted for and reported as receipts and disbursements separate and 
distinct from Federal funds; but any funds so received for the provision 
of legal assistance shall not be expended by recipients for any purpose 
prohibited by this subchapter, except that this provision shall not be 
construed to prevent recipients from receiving other public funds or 
tribal funds (including foundation funds benefiting Indians or Indian 
tribes) and expending them in accordance with the purposes for which 
they are provided, or to prevent contracting or making other 
arrangements with private attorneys, private law firms, or other State 
or local entities of attorneys, or with legal aid societies having 
separate public defender programs, for the provision of legal assistance 
to eligible clients under this subchapter.

(d) Limitations on grant or contract authority

    Not more than 10 percent of the amounts appropriated pursuant to 
subsection (a) of this section for any fiscal year shall be available 
for grants or contracts under section 2996e(a)(3) of this title in any 
such year.
