States that if the Senate and the House of Representatives have both passed appropriations for an activity but in differing amounts, the lesser amount or more restrictive authority shall apply in the continuing appropriations. States that where an activity is included in only one version of an Act as passed by both Houses the pertinent project or activity shall be continued under the appropriation, fund, or authority granted by the one House, but at a rate for operations of the current rate or the rate permitted by the one House, whichever is lower. Declares that if an appropriation Act has been reported to a House but not passed by that House as of October 1, 1981, it shall be deemed as having passed that House.
