PART 402--ERECTION OF WAR MEMORIALS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES BY AMERICAN CITIZENS, STATES, MUNICIPALITIES, OR ASSOCIATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 402.1  Restrictions on erection.

    (a) No administrative agency of the United States shall give 
assistance to American citizens, States, municipalities, or associations 
in erecting any war memorial outside the continental United States 
unless the plan has been approved in accordance with Sec. 401.1 above.
    (b) It is the opinion of the Commission that no battlefield memorial 
should be erected to any unit smaller than a division or comparable unit 
or to an individual, unless the services of such unit or individual 
clearly were of such distinguished character as to warrant a separate 
memorial.
    (c) It is the opinion of the Commission that, as a general rule, 
memorials should be erected to organizations rather than to troops from 
a particular locality of the United States.
    (d) The policy of the Commission is to approve plans for memorials 
in foreign countries only in cases in which the sponsors make adequate 
and permanent arrangements for their maintenance. If the sponsors so 
desire, the Commission will maintain such memorials, including those 
previously existing which it deems worthy of preservation, using funds 
provided by the sponsors; in such cases it will make user charges in 
accordance with general Government policy.
