Effected by exchange of notes signed at Mexico, D. F., September 23 and October 22, 1946; entered into force October 22, 1946. The American Ambassador to the Mexican Secretary for Foreign Relations EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mexico, D.F., September 23, 1946 EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Embassy's Note No. 3041 dated September 7, 1944, and to the Ministry's Note No. 560440 dated October 18, 1944, which exchange of correspondence served to extend for a period of two years or to October 23, 1946, the Mem- orandum Agreement of October 23, 1942, regulating the activities of the United States Fisheries Mission to Mexico. The Embassy has received from the Department of State a copy of Note No. 4791['] addressed by the Mexican Embassy in Washington, on July 11, 1946, to the Department of State, requesting the extension of the Memo- randum Agreement for an indefinite period. The Embassy has now been instructed by the Department of State to effect by an exchange of notes between the Embassy and the Ministry the extension of the agreement for another two-year period, or to October 23, 1948. The United States Fish and Wild Life Service of the Department of Interior desires to reserve the privilege of withdrawing Messrs. Lindner and Smyth for temporary duty elsewhere. Your Excellency will recall that the present agreement states, with reference to Mr. Lindner, that "his services will be rendered on a full-time basis, with the exception of possible assign- ments of nominal lengths only outside of Mexico". I am also in- structed to advise Your Excellency that the commitment to be entered into by the United States Government, beyond the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, in the extension of the agreement, is subject to the availability of appropriated funds. May I suggest to Your Excellency that the eventual agreement of the Mexican Government to the amendment suggested above providing for the temporary assign- ments of Messrs. Lindner and Smyth for duty elsewhere, and the extension of the amended agreement for a period of two years or to October 23, 1948, be effected by the completion of this exchange of communications between the Embassy and the Ministry.
