Sec. 7396. Naval Observatory: exchange of information with 
        foreign offices
        
    (a) The Secretary of the Navy may arrange to exchange data with 
foreign almanac offices to reduce the duplication of work in preparing 
the different national nautical and astronomical almanacs and make 
available for publication a larger amount of data useful to navigators 
and astronomers. Each such arrangement shall be made terminable on one 
year's notice.
    (b) The work of the Nautical Almanac Office shall be so conducted 
that in an emergency the part of the work intended for the use of 
navigators may be computed by the force of the office without foreign 
cooperation.
