It is noted that Your Excellency's Government desires to renew this agreement for a period of two years, the renewal to commence upon the termination of the present agreement on June 29, 1943. I am pleased to inform you that this arrangement is entirely accept- able to this Government in spite of the provision of Article 3 of the agreement now in force. In view of the acceptance by the Argentine Ministry of War of the proposal of this Government for the substitution of personnel, it is understood that it will be entirely satisfactory to Your Govern- ment to omit the word "regular" in the first paragraph of the agreement. It is also the understanding of this Government that as a result of discussions between appropriate officials, Title III, 4 Stat. 2327 . Article 20 shall be so amended as to allow free entry into Argentina of such articles and items as are furnished by the United States Government to the Mission for the use of the latter in the perform- ance of its official duties. I shall appreciate it if Your Excellency will confirm the acceptance of these modifications. Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest con- sideration. For the Secretary of State: SUMNER WELLES His Excellency Sefior Don FELIPE A. ESPIL, Ambassador of Argentina. [Not printed.] [Notes signed May 23 and June 3, 1941, effective June 29, 1941.]
