Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives under an
appropriate injunction of secrecy to be removed only upon due notice
from the President.

For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, the term

procedures
Agreements and transactions made or to be made by or through the
Institute shall be subject to the same congressional notification,

Government on behalf of which the Institute is acting.
