SEC. 508. Notwithstanding the budget authority levels of $523,000,000 for the Inter-American Development Bank and $400,000,000 for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided elsewhere in this Act, not more than $480,000,000 shall be made available by this Act for obligation or expenditure for a United States contribution to the Inter-American Development Bank and not more than $380,000,000 shall be made available by this Act for obligation or expenditure for a United States contribution to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development: Provided, That this section shall apply only to the establishment of budget authority levels for the aforementioned Banks and shall not alter limitations, restrictions or other language provisions elsewhere in this Act.

None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act to the Export-Import Bank and funds appropriated by this Act for direct foreign assistance may be obligated for any government which aids or abets, by granting sanctuary from prosecution to, any individual or group which has committed an act of international terrorism, unless the President of the United States finds that the national security requires otherwise. SEC. 510.
