 SUBCHAPTER II--RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND SMALL FARM RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
 
Sec. 2665. Withholding funds

    If the Secretary of Agriculture determines that a State is not 
eligible to receive part or all of the funds to which it is otherwise 
entitled for programs under section 2662(a) and (b) of this title 
because of a failure to comply with regulations issued by the Secretary 
under this subchapter, the facts and reasons therefor shall be reported 
to the President, and the amount involved shall be kept separate in the 
Treasury until the expiration of the Congress next succeeding the 
session of the legislature of the State from which funds have been 
withheld in order that the State may, if it should so desire, appeal to 
Congress from the determination of the Secretary. If the next Congress 
shall not direct such sum to be paid, it shall be covered into the 
Treasury. If any portion of the moneys that are received by the 
designated officers of any State for the support and maintenance of 
programs authorized under this subchapter shall by any action or 
contingency be diminished or lost, or be misapplied, it shall be 
replaced by the State.
