Where did the funds come from? How was it authorized? Did congress appropriate this money?

I can't recall ever reading about the origins of this fortune. Do you know?

Funds came from switerzland banks.... as far as I know, State department slush fund. Congress: No, they were in the dark about it until the story broke.

This link sums up the "official story" fairly well, but there was lots of skull drudgery and accusations going on behind the scenes. This write up touches on some of it. and remember. this was all secret and would have remained so, until a WSJ journalists stumbled across it.
