 62 STAT.] BRAZIL-MINERAL RESOURCES PROGRAM-NOV. 26, 1948 (c) To promote the interchange of scientific knowledge and special techniques between the two countries, with special refer- ence to aerial geologic mapping, topographic mapping, economic geology, and ground water and mineralogical investigations. (d) To make technological investigations relating to the indus- trial use of Brazilian ores for internal consumption and for purposes of export. (e) To study in detail the problems connected with prospecting, research, mining, beneficiation, and combustion of Brazilian coals. 2. Assignment of Scientists - The Government of the United States of America, through the Bureau of Mines and the Geological Survey, will assign scientists to undertake the studies referred to in the pre- ceding paragraph, both in the United States of America and in Brazil. The Government of the United States of Brazil, through the De- partamento Nacional da Produgao Mineral, will assign capable scien- tists to work in the United States of America and in Brazil in collabo- ration with the scientists assigned by the Bureau of Mines and the Geological Survey. The two Governments shall provide ample facilities to those scien- tists in order that they may carry out their respective task in either country. 3. Projects - As used in the present agreement, the term "project" shall signify an investigation to be carried out within a specified period. Specific projects will be agreed upon through consultation between representatives of the Embassy of the United States of America in Brazil and the Director General of the Departamento Nacional da Produqco Mineral. Such projects will be drawn up in flexible form in order to permit such modifications in scope and methods as may be required to satisfy local conditions as the work develops. Major revisions shall be agreed upon through consultation between the representatives of the Embassy of the United States of America in Brazil and the Director General of the Departamento Nacional da Producao Mineral. Each project will not be drawn up upon an annual basis but will continue for such period of time as may be necessary for its completion. 4. Reports - The investigations made in accordance with the present agreement will be reported for publication by the Bureau of Mines and the Geological Survey or by the Departamento Nacional da Producao Mineral, or by all the agencies concerned. The reports will be re- stricted to the exclusive use of the respective Governments until both Governments have given their consent to the publication thereof. When such consent has been given, announcement shall be made of the place or places at which such reports may be available for examina- tion or the reports shall be published. For the exclusive use of interested agencies of the two Governments, brief memoranda-reports relating to mineral deposits or particular problems may be prepared and furnished by the Bureau of Mines and the Geological Survey or by the Departamento Nacional da Producao Mineral. 3637
