title, the Governments of such countries shall be responsible for the 
authority necessary to carry out such operations or measures on all 
lands and properties therein and for such other facilities and means as

measure and character of cooperation carried out under said sections on 
the part of the United States and on the part of the Governments of such 
countries, including the expenditure or use of funds appropriated 
pursuant to said sections, shall be such as may be prescribed by the 
Secretary of Agriculture. Arrangements for the cooperation authorized by 
said sections shall be made through and in consultation with the 
Secretary of State. The authority contained in said sections is in 
addition to and not in substitution for the authority of existing law.
