EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the letters exchanged between the President of the Republic of Haiti and the Acting Secretary of State of the United States of America, dated April 7, 1942, relating to the establishment of a cooperative health and sanitation program in Haiti as modified by the notes exchanged between the American Ambassador to the Republic of Haiti and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Haiti on June 29 and July 12, 1944, concerning the same program. In accordance with the exchange of such letters and correspond- ence, an agreement was entered into between the Republic of Haiti and the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, pursuant to which the cooperative health and sanitation program was inaugurated in Haiti and a small staff of experts and technicians was sent to Haiti to cooperate with officials of the Haitian Government in realizing the objectives of such program. I have now been informed by the Department of State in Washing- ton that additional funds amounting to $25,000 have been made available by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs for the continua- tion of the cooperative health and sanitation program in Haiti up to and including June 30, 1948. It is understood that the additional $25,000 to be contributed by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs will be made available on condition that the Republic of Haiti con- tribute $80,000 for the same program. The contribution by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs will be in addition to payments made by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs directly to or on account of the experts and technicians sent to Haiti by the Institute of Inter-American Affairs in connection with carrying out the coop- erative health and sanitation program. If Your Excellency agrees that the proposed arrangement, as out- lined above, is acceptable to your Government, I would appreciate 58 Stat. 1439. 59 Stat. 1298.
