            agreement.
                (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation''

    extended for an additional fiscal year if the Secretary of State or the
    USAID Administrator, as appropriate, determines and reports promptly to
    the Committees on Appropriations that the termination of assistance to a
    country or a significant change in circumstances makes it unlikely that
    such designated funds can be obligated during the original period of
    availability:  Provided, That such designated funds that continue to be
    available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated only for the
    purpose of such designation.

    [[Page 138 STAT. 766]]
