believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties. Any Fiduciary may consult with

any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by a Certificate of the
Government, and such Certificate shall be full warrant to such
Fiduciary for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the
provisions of this Indenture in reliance upon such Certificate, but
in its discretion such Fiduciary may, in lieu thereof, accept other
