CHAPTER 12--FOREIGN AND EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Sec. 225. Fund for education of Iranian students in United
States
There is authorized to be appropriated, out of any funds in the
Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated, the sum of
$110,000, which sum shall be expended by the Secretary of State in his
discretion for the education of Iranian students in the United States,
in accordance with the obligation of the United States arising out of
the agreement contained in an exchange of notes between this Government
and the Iranian Government of July 25, July 29, November 9, and November
15, 1924, which agreement settled a claim asserted by the United States.
The said sum of $110,000 shall be deemed a trust fund received by
the Secretary of State under the provisions of section 2668a of title
22, and shall be expended as therein provided. The said sum shall be
deemed to constitute the fund of $110,000 received by the United States
from the Iranian Government in four installments between December 24,
1924, and March 29, 1925, pursuant to the afore-mentioned notes, and
deposited in the Treasury of the United States on June 24, 1925, which
fund shall be deemed, insofar as the same may be necessary, to have been
heretofore appropriated as a trust fund under section 2668a of title 22
and sections 1321 and 1322(a) of title 31. The Secretary of the Treasury
shall make payments out of the said fund to or for the account of such
persons, in such amounts, at such times, and on such terms, as the
Secretary of State or his designee shall certify and the certificates of
the Secretary of State or his designee issued hereunder shall be
conclusive as to the propriety of payments so made. The expenditure of
the said sum by the United States shall constitute full performance of
the obligation of the United States to the Iranian Government or any
other person arising out of the said notes and shall discharge the
Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to any
accountability therefor.
