Federal Government agencies, American citizens, States, municipalities, or associations desiring to erect war memorials outside the continental limits of the United States should proceed as follows:

(a) Submit general idea of the memorial to the American Battle Monuments Commission, with a request for the tentative allocation of the site desired.

(b) When site is provisionally allocated, prepare and submit the design of the memorial, together with the inscription, for approval. The design of the memorial will then be referred, in accordance with law, by the Commission to the National Commission of Fine Arts for its approval.

(c) After a site is allocated and the design and inscription are approved, the American Battle Monuments Commission will, if the sponsors so desire, consult with the foreign government concerning the question of securing approval for the erection of the memorial.

(d) When the approval of the foreign government is obtained, the Commission will cooperate, if the sponsors so desire, in obtaining the ground and erection of the memorial. Such cooperation may include construction of the memorial by the Commission, using funds provided by the sponsors, in which case user charges will be made in accordance with general Government policy.
