Pub. L. 116–283, div. A, title XII, §1299Q(b), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 4021, which directed amendment of this section and was not executed, was itself amended by Pub. L. 116–260, div. O, title XIII, §1301, Dec. 27, 2020, 134 Stat. 2158, to make it effective 90 days after Jan. 1, 2021. However, the amendment by Pub.

(a) contains 6 pars. that have a semicolon at the end and the probable intent of Congress could not be determined.

Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 116–283, §1299Q(b)(2), which directed amendment of subsec. (b) by inserting ", including editorial independence," after "programing", was not executed because the word "programing" did not appear and the word "programming" at the beginning of par. (5) could not be clearly identified as the intended target.

1998—Subsec. (a)(8). Pub. L. 105–292 added par. (8).

(3) by inserting ", including editorials, broadcast by the Voice of America, which present the views of the United States Government" after "policies", was executed by making insertion after "policies" the second time it appears to reflect the probable intent of Congress.

Subsec. (b)(4) to (10). Pub. L. 105–277, §1323(d)(2), (3), added par. (4) and redesignated former pars. (4) to (9) as (5) to (10), respectively.

(5) in general, the multilateral development banks do not yet provide systematic and adequate assistance to their borrowers to encourage sustainable resource use and consultation with affected communities, where costs could be reduced or benefits made more enduring.
