Canadian Commission.
Its functions are:

as closely as possible to its condition when it was occupied by
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt;
to administer as a memorial the Roosevelt Campobello Inter-
national Park comprising the Roosevelt estate and such other
lands as may be acquired.
The Commission consists of six members, three members appointed by
the President of the United States and three members appointed by

United States members.
