Sounds like he’s saying that money to be used to pay the Russians for converting their weapons-grade nukes to energy-grade is protected from lawsuits, garnishment, etc.

I suppose it’s probably just a continuation. Being government-speak, “national emergency” means the opposite (business as usual).
