Category I, other than for end use by the Federal
Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of
Canada; or</DELETED>

another foreign destination.</DELETED>

of such articles has and continues to take place for use in
international terrorism or in the escalation of a conflict in another
nation. The President shall terminate the requirements of a license
when reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased.</DELETED>
<DELETED> Sec. 622. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving

Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are released without adequate
disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.
(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives shall
include in all such data releases, language similar to the following
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad
conclusions about firearms-related crime:
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement
authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale
and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies
may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons
are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all
firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced
are used in crime.
(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for
purposes of determining which types, makes or models of
firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected
do not constitute a random sample and should not be considered
representative of the larger universe of all firearms used by
criminals, or any subset of that universe. Firearms are
normally traced to the first retail seller, and sources
reported for firearms traced do not necessarily represent the
sources or methods by which firearms in general are acquired
for use in crime.
Sec. 518. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims

expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of the United States
in connection with requiring an export license for the export to Canada
of components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in
Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations
(International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it
existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding $500
wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of
subsection (b) of this section are met by the exporting party for such
articles.
(b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license--
(1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's
Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or
from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United
States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles
enumerated in subsection (a); and
(2) does not permit the export without a license of--
(A) fully automatic firearms and components and
parts for such firearms, other than for end use by the
Federal Government, or a Provincial or Municipal
Government of Canada;
(B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or
complete breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in

Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of
Canada; or

foreign destination.
(c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors of
Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or temporary export
without a license of any unclassified articles specified in subsection
(a) to Canada for end use in Canada or return to the United States, or
temporary import of Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in
the United States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
(d) The President may require export licenses under this section on
a temporary basis if the President determines, upon publication first
in the Federal Register, that the Government of Canada has implemented
or maintained inadequate import controls for the articles specified in
subsection (a), such that a significant diversion of such articles has
and continues to take place for use in international terrorism or in
the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary
requirements have ceased.
Sec. 521. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving
appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or
expend in any way such funds to pay administrative expenses or the
compensation of any officer or employee of the United States to deny
any application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and
qualified pursuant to 27 CFR Sec. 478.112 or .113, for a permit to
import United States origin ``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or
ammunition.
Sec. 522. Notwithstanding section 505 of this Act, no funds shall
be reprogrammed within or transferred between appropriations after June
30, except in extraordinary circumstances.

transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence or intelligence related

guidelines do not differ in any respect from the proposed guidelines
published by the Commission on October 1, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 51266).
Sec. 526. None of the funds in this Act or prior Acts making
appropriations for the Department of Justice may be used to make a
grant allocation, a discretionary grant award, or a discretionary
contract award that is specified in the report accompanying this Act,
or to publicly announce the intention to make such an award, unless the

appropriate agency or bureau notifies the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, at least three full business days in advance: Provided,
