Military Governors under such procedures as they may establish. Special Measures 12. If the U.S. and U.K. Military Governors consider that adequate quantities of exportable scrap cannot be obtained without special measures, they are authorized to approve the recovery of scrap by such measures.

Military Governors may determine after consultation with the ad hoc Committee. Direct Recovery of Scrap 13. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude operations by non- German organizations for the recovery of scrap from disarmament and other sources not readily accessible to German scrap merchants provided such operations are carried on in a manner acceptable to the U.S . and U.K . Military Governors and that all recoveries of scrap (other than the 75,000 tons of booty scrap mentioned above) are paid for at prices established by the U.S . and U.K. Military Governors and are within either the regular or the special allocations determined by the U.S. and U.K. Military Governors. U.S .-U .K . Scrap Control Authority 14. The U.S . and U.K . Military Governors shall set up a U.S . - U.K . scrap control authority in which each shall appoint a coordinator to supervise and control the collection and export of ferrous scrap.
