        and compensation of officers and employees; expenditures; 
        authorization of appropriations; abrogation of inconsistent 
        statutes
        
    The Secretary may make such rules, regulations, and orders as may be 
necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter, and may cooperate 
with any department or agency of the Government, any State, Territory, 
District, or possession, or department, agency, or political subdivision 
thereof, or any person; and shall have the power to appoint, remove, and 
fix the compensation of such officers and employees not in conflict with 
existing law, and make such expenditures for rent outside the District 
of Columbia, printing, binding, telegrams, telephones, lawbooks, books 
of reference, publications, furniture, stationery, office equipment, 
travel, and other supplies and expenses, including reporting services, 
as shall be necessary to the administration of this chapter in the 
District of Columbia and elsewhere, from the Perishable Agricultural 
Commodities Act fund provided for by section 499c(b) of this title and 
any supplements to such fund, and as may be appropriated for by 
Congress; and there is authorized to be appropriated, out of any money 
in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, such sums as may be 
necessary for such purposes. This chapter shall not abrogate nor nullify 
any other statute, whether State or Federal, dealing with the same 
subjects of this chapter; but it is intended that all such statutes 
shall remain in full force and effect except insofar only as they are 
inconsistent herewith or repugnant hereto.
