I also refer to Your Excellency's note of April 21, 1948, suggesting con- sideration on the part of our respective Governments of a future extension of the program. - As Your Excellency knows, the Agreement of July 8, 1942, as amended, provides that the cooperative health and sanitation program shall end on June 30, 1948. However, considering the mutual benefits which both Governments receive from the pro- gram, my Government agrees with the Government of Honduras that an extension of the program would be desirable. I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that arrangements may now be made for the Institute to continue its cooperation in the cooper- ative program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1948 to June 30, 1949. It would be understood that during such extended period, the Institute would make a contribution of $50,000.00 U.S. cy. to the Inter-American Cooperative Public Health Service, to be used in carrying out the activities of the project in the program, on condition that your Government contribute to the same Service, for the same purpose, the sum of 500,000 lempiras. During the same period of execution, the Institute would also like to have at its disposal funds, to 3909 61 Stat., It. 3, PIp. 2:319, 3114.
