purposes intended shall be according to the sole discretion of the
board, and the exercise of its discretion and authority in regard
thereto and its decisions thereon, including any payments made or

activities during the preceding twelve months. The actions of the board
shall not be subject to judicial review except in an action brought in
the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which is
