# § 3294. Center For North American Studies

**(a)** **Establishment** The Secretary of Agriculture shall establish a center, to be known as the Center For North American Studies, whose primary purpose shall be to promote better agricultural relationships among Canada, Mexico, and the United States through cooperative study, training, and research.

**(b)** **Location** The Institute shall be located at an institution of higher education or at a consortium of such institutions.

**1** **Authorization of appropriations** [^1]

To carry out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated $10,000,000 for fiscal year 1994 and such sums as may necessary  for each of fiscal years 1995 and 1996.

So in original. Probably should be “may be necessary”.
