2896 Chief. Appointment of Di- rector. Proleot. Limitation of pro- gam. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. as the Institute considers appropriate and shall be under the direction of an official who shall have the title of Chief of Field Party, Health and Sanitation Division, The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, which Chief of Party shall be acceptable to the Minister of Labor, Health and Social Welfare (hereinafter called the Minister). This official shall be the representative of the Health and Sanitation Divi- sion of the Institute in Colombia in connection with the program to be undertaken in accordance with this agreement. The Government 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 replacement satis- factory 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 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 Institute. No project will be carried out without the presentation of studies and definite plans for both the technical and administrative aspects of the work, and without the appropriate Resolution of the Ministry authorizing the work to begin. New and fundamental modifications in the campaigns can be made only by Resolutions passed as a result of mutual agreement between the Ministry and the Chief of Field Party as representative of the Institute. Servicio funds shall be disbursed only upon projects previously agreed to in this manner. It is suggested that the cooperative program of health and sanita- tion 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 with the new funds be limited to the following activities: Organization and operation of five model Health Centers Public Health Education Nutrition in its economic, social and educational aspects Studies and measures for the control of malaria Organization of maritime, river and aerial sanitation (quarantine service) and the sanitation of ports.
