"(d) The Board is hereby authorized to enter into reciprocal 
arrangements with appropriate and duly authorized agencies of other 
States or of the Federal Government, or both, whereby contributions 
due under this Act with respect to wages for employment shall for 
the purposes of section 4 of this Act be deemed to have been paid to 
the fund as of the date payment was made as contributions therefor 
under another State or Federal unemployment-compensation law, 
but no such arrangement shall be entered into unless it contains pro-
visions for such reimbursement to the fund of such contributions and 
the actual earnings thereon as the Board finds will be fair and reason-
able as to all affected interests. 
"(e) Reimbursements paid from the fund pursuant to subsection 
(c) of this section shall be deemed to be benefits for the purpose of 
sections 6, 7, and 8 of this Act. The Board is authorized to make to 
other State or Federal agencies and to receive from such other State 
or Federal agencies reimbursements from or to the fund, in accordance 
with arrangements entered into pursuant to this section. 
"(f) The administration of this Act and of State and Federal unem-
ployment-compensation and public-employment-service laws will be 
promoted by cooperation between the District and such States and the 
appropriate Federal agencies in exchanging services and making avail-
able facilities and information. The Board is therefore authorized to 
make such investigations, secure and transmit such information, make 
available such services and facilities, and exercise such of the other 
powers provided herein with respect to the administration of this Act 
as it deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate the administration of 
any such unemployment-compensation or public-employment-service 
law, and in like manner to accept and utilize information, services, and 
facilities made available to the District by the agency charged with the 
administration of any such other unemployment-compensation or pub-
lic-employment-service law. 
"(g) To the extent permissible under the laws and Constitution of 
the United States, the Board is authorized to enter into or cooperate in 
arrangements whereby facilities and services provided under this Act 
and facilities and services provided under the unemployment-compen-
sation law of any foreign government may be utilized for the taking of 
claims and the payment of benefits under the employment-security law^ 
of the District or under a similar law of such government."
