                    SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
Sec. 1623. Authorization of appropriations; allotments to States

    (a) In order to conduct research and service work in connection with 
the preparation for market, processing, packaging, handling, storing, 
transporting, distributing, and marketing of agricultural products as 
authorized by this chapter, there is hereby authorized to be 
appropriated the following sums:
        (1) $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and 
    each subsequent fiscal year.
        (2) An additional $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
    1948, and each subsequent fiscal year.
        (3) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
    1949, and each subsequent fiscal year.
        (4) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
    1950, and each subsequent fiscal year.
        (5) An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
    1951, and each subsequent fiscal year.
        (6) In addition to the foregoing, such additional funds 
    beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, and thereafter, 
    as the Congress may deem necessary.

Such sums appropriated in pursuance of this chapter shall be in addition 
to, and not in substitution for, sums appropriated or otherwise made 
available to the Department of Agriculture.
    (b) The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make available 
from such funds such sums as he may deem appropriate for allotment to 
State departments of agriculture, State bureaus and departments of 
markets, State agricultural experiment stations, and other appropriate 
State agencies for cooperative projects in marketing service and in 
marketing research to effectuate the purposes of this chapter: Provided, 
That no such allotment and no payment under any such allotment shall be 
made for any fiscal year to any State agency in excess of the amount 
which such State agency makes available out of its own funds for such 
research. The funds which State agencies are required to make available 
in order to qualify for such an allotment shall be in addition to any 
funds now available to such agencies for marketing services and for 
marketing research. The allotments authorized under this section shall 
be made to the agency or agencies best equipped and qualified to conduct 
the specific project to be undertaken. Such allotments shall be covered 
by cooperative agreements between the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
cooperating agency and shall include appropriate provisions for 
preventing duplication or overlapping of work within the State or States 
cooperating. Should duplication or overlapping occur subsequent to 
approval of a cooperative project or allotment of funds, the Secretary 
of Agriculture is authorized and directed to withhold unexpended 
balances on such projects notwithstanding the prior approval thereof.
