Use and Administration of<br />

Foreign Currencies<br />

Title I sales agreements include the terns for the deposit<br />

and use of <strong>foreign</strong> currency. Section 104 of Public<br />

Law 480 provides a vicle variety of uses. (See table VI.)<br />

Each agreement specifies the percentages of the total<br />

proceeds to be used for grants and loans to the purchasing<br />

government under sections 104 (c), (e), and (g), and<br />

for loans to private business firms under section 104(e).<br />

The percentage for U.S. uses authorized by section 104<br />

of the Act is shown as a co<strong>mb</strong>ined total.<br />

As shipments are made, the recipient government deposits<br />

to the account of the U.S. Disbursing Officer an<br />

aiount of its own currency equivalent to the dollar<br />

amount due. The Treasury 1)epartilent establishes anl<br />

adininisters regulations concerning the deposit, custody,<br />

sale of the currencies.<br />

Title I sales proceeds earmarked for U.S. uses are<br />

generally available to U.S. Government agencies only<br />

tions. These currencies are used for the payment of<br />

U.S. Government obligations overseas, for acconimiodation<br />

exchange sales for dollars to U.S. Government<br />

personnel, and, where possible, for sale to U.S. citizens<br />
