Lake Success, New York, 21 November 1947 Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 31 October 1947, at its one hundred and first meeting, relative to the Agreement between the United States of America and the United Nations regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations, signed at Lake Success on 26 June 1947.

By this resolution the General Assembly, after having studied the report of its Sixth Committee and endorsed the opinions expressed therein, has approved the above-mentioned Agreement, which states and defines the mutual obligations of the United Nations and the United States in connexion with the establishment of the permanent Headquarters of the United Nations in the United States. The resolution, consequently, has authorized me to bring that Agreement into force in the manner provided in section 28 of the Agreement.

Pursuant to the resolution and in conformity with section 28 of the Agreement, I have the honour to propose that the present note and your note of this day be considered as bringing the Headquarters Agreement into effect under date hereof.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

(Signed) Trygve
