The American Embassy to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 907. Paris, September 21, 1948. The Embassy of the United States of America presents its compli- ments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has the honor to refer to the Economic Cooperation Agreement between the United States of America and France signed on June 28, 1948. Examination of the official text of this Agreement has revealed a clerical error in Article XII, paragraph 2, which seriously affects the substance of this paragraph. The proviso at the end of sub-paragraph (b), which reads: "provided, however, that ArticleV and paragraph 3 of Article VII shall remain in effect until two years after the date of such notice of intention to terminate, but not later than June 30, 1953." should begin at the margin and should not be a part of sub-paragraph (b). In other words, this proviso should modify both sub-paragraph (a) and sub-paragraph (b). The Embassy suggests that this note and the reply of the Foreign Office should constitute a recognition by the two Governments of the clerical error mentioned above and their agreement that the proviso applies to termination under both sub-paragraph (a) and sub- paragraph (b) of Article XII, paragraph 2, of the Agreement under reference.
