Notwithstanding section 1415 of the Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1953, or any other provision of law, the President may use or enter into agreements with friendly nations or organizations of nations to use the foreign currencies, including principal and interest from loan repayments, which accrue under this title for one or more of the following purposes:

(b) To purchase or contract to purchase in such amounts as may be specified from time to time in appropriation acts, strategic or other materials for a supplemental United States stockpile of such materials as the President may determine from time to time. Such strategic or other materials acquired under this subsection shall be placed in the above-named supplemental stockpile and shall be released therefrom only under the provisions of section 3 of the Strategic and Critical Materials Stockpile Act; ***.

NOTE: Section 104(b) above was a part of Title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended. The Food for Peace Act of 1966, P.L. 89-808 (80 Stat. 1526), in amending Title I, omitted the foregoing provision relating to the supplemental stockpile. The material is, however, retained herein because of its significance with respect to the supplemental stockpile.
