§276bb — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

The board can accept money and property from Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt and put it in the U.S. Treasury as the Kermit Roosevelt fund. The fund must be used to help the U.S. and U.K. militaries get along better by paying for exchange lectures or courses: British Army officers to teach at the United States Military Academy and elsewhere in the U.S., and U.S. Army officers to teach at Sandhurst Royal Military College and elsewhere in the U.K. If those exchanges become impractical or unnecessary, the board, with the Secretary of the Army’s approval, can use the money in other ways that still serve the same purpose. The board may spend the original gift and any income from it and may invest and reinvest the fund under section 276cc.
