account for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education except as authorized in this or any
subsequent appropriation act, or in the Act establishing the
program or activity for which funds are contained in this Act;
(2) no department, agency, or other entity, other than the
one responsible for administering the program or activity for
which an appropriation is made in this Act, may exercise
authority for the timing of the obligation and expenditure of
such appropriation, or for the purposes for which it is obligated
and expended, except to the extent and in the manner otherwise
provided in sections 1512 and 1513 of title 31, United States
Code; and
(3) no funds provided under this Act shall be available
for the salary (or any part thereof) of an employee who is
reassigned on a temporary detail basis to another position
in the employing agency or department or in any other agency

SEC. 511. None of the funds made available in this Act may
be used to enforce the requirements of section 428(b)(l)(U)(iii) of
the Higher Education Act of 1965 with respect to any lender when
it is made known to the Federal official having authority to obligate
or expend such funds that the lender has a loan portfolio under
part B of title IV of such Act that is equal to or less than $5,000,000.
SEC. 512. None of the funds made available in this Act may
be used for Pell Grants under subpart 1 of part A of title IV
of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to students attending an
