The American Ambassador to the Brazilian Acting Alinister for Foreign Affairs EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 315 Rio de Janeiro, December 15, 1948 EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement between the Government of the United States of Brazil and The Institute of Inter-American 4ffairs arising out of the exchange of correspondence between the Acting Secretary of State of the United States of America and the Minister of Finance of Brazil on March 14, 1942, as later 57Stat-1322 modified and extended, which provided for the initiation and exe- P'p 3836 cution of the existing health and sanitation program in Brazil. 1 also refer to the note of Your Excellency's Ministry of December 13, 1948,[1] suggesting the consideration by our respective Governments of a further extension of that Agreement. As Your Excellency knows, the aforementioned Basic Agreement, as amended, provides that the health and sanitation program will terminate on December 31, 1948. However, considering the mutual benefits which both goverlnments are deriving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Brazil, that an exten- sion of such program would be desirable. I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington, D. C., that arrangements may now be made for the Institute to continue its participation in the cooperative program for a period of six (6) months from Decem- ber 31, 1948 through June 30, 1949. It would be understood that, during such period of extension, the Institute would make a contri- bution of $250,000 U.S. Cy. to the Servigo Especial de Saide Pdblica (SESP) for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that Your Government would contribute to the SESP for the same purpose the sum of Cr$50,000,000.00. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be retained by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the SEEP, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Institute Health and Sanitation Division Field ' Not printed.
