Signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on September 29, 1950
Iranian Fiduciary Trust Fund Act of 1950 was authorized by the 81st United States Congress which established a trust fund for the education of Iranian naturalized persons in the United States. The one hundred and ten thousand dollars was governed as a trust fund and accrued by the United States from the Iranian government in four transaction installments occurring between December 24, 1924, and March 29, 1925.
The
Act of Congress confirmed the trust fund in accordance with the Diplomatic and Consular Service Appropriations Act of 1896 as codified by 29 Stat. 32 entitled Trust Funds.[3] The United States federal statute amended the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of 1934 providing an addendum to section twenty entitled Certain Funds Established as Trust Fund Accounts.[4]
Katherine Imbrie, wife of Robert Whitney Imbrie, judiciously appealed to the
69th United States Congress in 1926. The public plea was a expediency for an expenditure of funds advancing the education of Persian students in the United States.[5][6]
