(including any such officers or employees who have been furloughed due 
to a lapse in appropriations).
    (b) Charge to Applicable Accounts.--Expenditures made pursuant to 
this Act shall be charged to the applicable appropriation, fund, or 
authorization whenever a bill or joint resolution in which such 
applicable appropriation, fund, or authorization is contained is 
enacted into law.
    (c) Furloughed Employees.--Notwithstanding section 1341 of title 
31, United States Code, or any other provision of law, any officer or 
employee furloughed as described in subsection (a) shall be 
compensated, at the regular rate of compensation, for the period during 
which such officer or employee is so furloughed.
    (d) Effective Date.--This Act shall apply with respect to any 
fiscal year beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act.
