§501 Utilization of services of Government agencies to promote inter-American relations

Summary

The President can use the services of U.S. departments, agencies, and independent government bodies to carry out the mutual agreements and cooperative plans made by the American republics. He may only do this when money is provided for that purpose by Congress. The agreements referred to are the treaties, resolutions, declarations, and recommendations signed by all twenty-one American republics at the Inter‑American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1936), and at the Eighth International Conference of American States in Lima, Peru (1938).
