I also refer to Your Excellency's note No. TC. y ONU. 618 of July 5, 1949, suggesting the consideration by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agreement. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are deriving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Bolivia that an extension of the program beyond its termination date of June 30, 1949, would be desirable. Accordingly, I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that arrangements may now be made for the Institute to continue its participation in the program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1949, through June 30, 1950. It would be understood that, during this period of extension, the Institute would make a contribution of $100,000.00 in the currency of the United States, to the Servicio Cooperativo Inter-Americano de Salud Publica, for use in carrying out project activities of the program, on condition that your Government would contribute to the Servicio for the same purpose the sum of Bs. 28,000,000.00. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be administered by the Institute, and not deposited to the 1EAS 300, ante, p. 759. account of the Servicio, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Health and Sanitation Division field staff who are maintained by the Institute in Bolivia. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the present Basic Agreement, as amended, to be contributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program. The Government of the United States of America will consider the present note and your reply note concurring therein as constituting an agreement between our two Governments, which shall come into force on the date of signature of an agreement by the Minister of Hygiene and Public Health and a representative of The Institute of Inter-American Affairs embodying the above-mentioned technical details. If the proposed extension on the above basis is acceptable to your Government, I would appreciate receiving an expression of Your Excellency's assurance to that effect as soon as may be possible in order that the technical details of the extension may be worked out by the officials of the Ministry of Hygiene and Public Health and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest and most distinguished consideration.
