"(2) if obligated before such date as assistance for such country, shall not disbursed, and "(3) if expended before such date for assistance to be delivered to such country from the United States or by United States nationals, then no such delivery shall be made, unless such assistance is for humanitarian purposes.'

654 Sec. 620A was amended and restated by sec. 503(a) of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-83, 99 Stat. 220). It formerly read:
