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.
