2886 Appointment of Di- rector. Projects. Limitation of pro- gram. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. to be undertaken in accordance with this agreement. The Govern- ment of Colombia may ask for the withdrawal of the Chief of Party when in its opinion his performance does not satisfy or interpret the objectives contained in this agreement, and may ask for a replace- ment satisfactory to both parties. (3) The Government of Colombia shall appoint as Director of the Servicio the Chief of Field Party, Health and Sanitation Division, The Institute of Inter-American Affairs. With the approval of the Minister, the Director of the Servicio may delegate his authority to persons employed by the Servicio or members of the Field Party of the Institute in Colombia. (4) The cooperative health and sanitation program in Colombia shall continue to consist of individual projects. The kind of work and the specific projects to be undertaken in the execution of this agreement and the allocation of funds therefor shall be agreed upon in writing by the Minister and by the Chief of Field Party in his capacity as representative of the Health and Sanitation Division of the Institute in Colombia (wherever the latter official is mentioned herein, it shall be understood that he acts in said capacity) and shall be carried out by the Director of the Servicio in conformity with policies prescribed jointly by the Minister and the said Chief of Field Party for the In- stitute. No project will be carried out without the presentation of studies and definite plans for both the technical and administrative aspects of the work. Servicio funds shall be disbursed only upon projects previously agreed to in this manner. It is suggested that the cooperative program of health and sanitation be limited to relatively few projects each of which would be of special interest to the Government of Colombia, in order that definite results may be obtained, and that such results would be indicative of the cooperation existing between the Government of Colombia and the Government of the United States in the important field of health and sanitation. It is suggested that the work of the Servicio be limited to the following activities or some of them: Completion or continuation of the projects which are being carried out at the present time in virtue of the Basic Agreements. Organization (including the construction, if necessary) and oper- ation of a limited number of health centers. The execution of certain specific campaigns or programs falling within the province of the Ministry. Public Health Education. Studies and measures for the control of Malaria. Sanitary works and other constructions necessary to carry out specific programs. Organization of maritime, river and aerial sanitation (quaran- tine service) and the sanitation of ports. Nutritional programs insofar as they relate to public health. Training of personnel to serve in programs of public health and sanitation.
