Establishment of Bank Accounts in India
( 15) The Smithsonian Institution offers grants using “excess” U.S.-owned foreign
currencies, requiring that funds be drawn from the US. Embassy located within
the country involved and disbursed within that country. Financial reports must
be submitted in which the University must certify the funds have been expended
in accordance with the terms of the grant. Funds not expended must be re-
turned to the U.S. Embassy.
Officers of the Urbana-Champaign campus recently submitted two grant
applications, totalling $55,000, which have been approved by the Smithsonian In-
stitution and conditionally accepted subject to board approval. In b- th cases, the
grants are for travel funds to be used in connection with an international congress
on anthropological and ethnological sciences to be held in India in December
1978. The principal investigators, Dr. Demitri Shimkin and Dr. Clark E. Cunning-
ham, are faculty members in the Department of Anthropology.
In order to facilitate the handling of financial transactions pertaining to
these grants, the chancellor at Urbana has recommended that the vice pres;dent
for administration be authorized to establish separate bank accounts in the State
Bank of India, New Delhi, for the grants described. The funds are to be dis-
bursed in accordance with the terms of the grants and in accord with University
policies and procedures.
I concur.
