 61 STAT.] EXICO-WEATHER STATIONS- Oct. 13. 20, Nov. 10,1942 May 12, June 16, 21, 28, 1945 I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration. P CAMPOS His Excellency GEORGE S. MESSERSMITH, Ambassador Extraordinaryand Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. City. The American Ambassador to the Mexican Minister for Foreign Relations EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 697 Mexico, D.F ., October 13, 1942. EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Undersecretary's courteous note no. 5682 of January 31, 1941, [1] and related correspondence in connection with the visit to Mexico of Mr. Stephen Lichtblau of the United States Weather Bureau to confer with Dr. Jos6 C. Gomez and other officials of the Mexican Meteorological Service with a view to the establishment on a cooperative basis of radiosonde observation stations. Since Mr. Lichtblau's visit to Mexico, Dr. F. W. Reichelderfer, Chief of the Weather Bureau, has corresponded with Dr. Gomez on the subject and it is understood that as a result of these preliminary discussions the United States Weather Bureau and the Mexican Meteorological Service have agreed in principle that it would be desirable to cooperate in the establishment and operation of three radiosonde observation stations to be located in Mexico City (Tacu- baya), Mazatlan and Tapachula. In this connection I have the honor to transmit herewith a Memo- randum Agreement setting forth in detail the conditions under which the United States Weather Bureau proposes to cooperate with the Mexican Meteorological Service in the establishment and operation of the proposed stations in question. If this Memorandum Agreement meets with the approval of Your Excellency's Government I should appreciate it if Your Excellency would be so kind as to inform me as soon as may be possible in order that I may so inform my Government. It is the view of my Government that a note from Your Excellency accepting the proposals set forth in the Memorandum will constitute an agreement to that effect and it is not necessary that the Memo- randum be signed. For Your Excellency's further information I may state that my Government has already established a network of radiosonde obser- vation stations in the United States, the West Indies, and the Canal Zone, and if additional stations can be established at Mexico City, 1 [Not printed.] Establishment of radiosonde observa- tion stations. !
