Establishes in the Treasury an account to be known as the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, American Battle Monuments Commission, Account (the Account). States that funds from the Account shall be used by the American Battle Monuments Commission (the Commission) to eliminate losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates of foreign countries which occur after a budget request for the Commission is submitted to the Congress. Requires any limits applicable to appropriations available to the Commission to be adjusted to account for any such foreign currency fluctuations. Authorizes funds originally transferred from the Account to be transferred back to the Account if foreign currency fluctuations necessitate such action. Requires unobligated balances of funds appropriated to the Commission for a fiscal year to be transferred into the Account within a specified time and to be merged with and available for the same period and purposes as the Account. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to report to the Congress annually on funds made available under this provision. Authorizes appropriations to the Account.
