    The Office of Justice Programs or any of its duly authorized 
representatives, shall have access for purpose of audit and examination 
of any books, documents, papers, and records of the recipients of funds

(e) Revolving fund for acquisition of stolen goods and property within 
        Bureau of Justice Assistance

    There is hereby established within the Bureau of Justice Assistance 
a revolving fund for the purpose of supporting projects that will 
acquire stolen goods and property in an effort to disrupt illicit 
commerce in such goods and property. Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law, any income or royalties generated from such projects together 
with income generated from any sale or use of such goods or property, 
where such goods or property are not claimed by their lawful owner, 
shall be paid into the revolving fund. Where a party establishes a legal 
right to such goods or property, the Administrator of the fund may in 
his discretion assert a claim against the property or goods in the 
amount of Federal funds used to purchase such goods or property. 
Proceeds from such claims shall be paid into the revolving fund. The 
Administrator is authorized to make disbursements by appropriate means, 
including grants, from the fund for the purpose of this section.
