1. In any case where an irrigation district is appointed fiscal agent of the United States in connection with any federal reclamation project, or by the United States, or under a contract therewith is authorized or required to make collection of moneys on behalf of the United States, or for payments due the United States under any such contract, each director of the district, and the secretary and the treasurer thereof, shall execute a further and additional bond in such sum as the Secretary of the Interior may require, conditioned for the faithful discharge of the duties of his or her office, or as fiscal or other agent of the United States, or both.
2. Any such bonds may be sued upon by the United States or any person injured by the failure of such officer or officers of the district to perform fully, promptly or completely their respective duties.
3. This requirement shall apply to the directors of a division and, insofar as applicable, to the officers of a district acting in that relation, in case of a contract between the United States and such division.
4. In all cases of contracts with the United States as described above, the board of directors of the district, or of a division thereof, and the secretary and treasurer of a district, shall at any time allow any officer or employee of the United States, when acting under the order of the Secretary of the Interior, to have access to all books, records and documents which are in the possession or control of such officers.
