SUBJECT: H.R. 8202, A Bill to Permit the Donation of Foreign Excess
Property to Foreign Organizations
TO : Legislative Counsel
FROM Assistant General Counsel
1. H.R. 8202 proposes to add a new Section 405 to the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, the
purpose of which is to permit "the head of each executive
agency" to "donate without cost for use in a foreign country
for educational or health purposes any foreign excess property
held by such agency which he determines is suitable for use
for such purposes to any nonprofit, charitable, or eleemosynary
private organization which carries on health or educational
activities in such foreign country and is in need of such
property for carrying on such activities." Overall policy
control of this-program is to be established by the Secretary
of State.
2. In my opinion this Bill is unobjectionable insofar as
its effect on this Agency is concerned. I would call your
attention specifically, however, to the possibility which this
Bill would seem to offer for the use of foreign excess property
held by this Agency in support of appropriate operational
activities conducted by this Agency overseas.
