So what are you thinking is the issue with Division B? If you say it’s not conflicting with prior legislation. Why is it singled out in the signing statement?

There's no issue with Division B, section 531; the issue is that it's singled out with the seeming suggestion that the executive branch has authority to ignore it and spend money contrary to Congressional authorization. The executive has no such authority under the Constitution.
