The board can accept money and property that Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt gives. This money becomes the Kermit Roosevelt trust fund, kept in the U.S. Treasury. It funds exchange lectures between U.S. and British military officers, or other uses the board approves.

The board can accept money and property that Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt offers, and can formally receive it on behalf of the United States. This deposit becomes the original corpus of a trust fund in the U.S. Treasury, called the Kermit Roosevelt fund. The fund's purpose is to build a better understanding and closer relationship between the U.S. and U.K. militaries, by sponsoring lectures or courses of instruction — British Army officers teaching at the U.S. Military Academy and elsewhere in the U.S., and U.S. Army officers teaching at Sandhurst Royal Military College and elsewhere in the U.K. If those exchange lectures become impractical or unnecessary, the board — with the Secretary of the Army's approval — can apply the funds a different way. The board can disburse both the original corpus and the fund's income, at its discretion, to further this purpose, and the fund is subject to investment and reinvestment as section 276cc describes.

The board is authorized to accept from Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt such money and property as she may tender, to receipt therefor on behalf of the United States, and to deposit the funds so received in the Treasury of the United States as the original corpus of a trust fund, to be known as the Kermit Roosevelt fund, which shall be used for the purpose of fostering a better understanding and a closer relationship between the military forces of the United States and those of the United Kingdom by sponsoring lectures or courses of instruction to be delivered by officers of the British Army at the United States Military Academy and elsewhere in the United States and by officers of the United States Army at Sandhurst Royal Military College and elsewhere in the United Kingdom or, should such exchange lectures prove or become impracticable or unnecessary for any reason, by such other application of the funds as the board, with the approval of the Secretary of the Army may determine. The original corpus of the fund and the income therefrom may be disbursed at the discretion of the board in furtherance of the stated purpose, and shall be subject to investment and reinvestment as provided in section 276cc of this title.
