The American Ambassador to the Uruguayan Ministerfor Foreign Affairs EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 194 Montevideo, Uruguay, November 10, 1947 EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the exchange of notes between the Honorable A. A. Berle, Jr., Acting Secretary of State of the United States of America, and His Excellency Dr. Juan Carlos Blanco, Ambassador of Uruguay to the Government of the United States of America, on October 1, and November 1, 1943, respectively, con- 68Stat.134. cerning the establishment of a cooperative program of health and sanitation in Uruguay. It will be recalled that my Government agreed to send a small staff of experts and technicians to Uruguay to cooperate with officials of the Uruguayan Government in the execu- tion of the proposed program in conformity with detailed arrange- ments subsequently to be effected by agreement between the Gov- ernment of Uruguay and the Institute. Following the exchange of the above communications, details with regard to the execution of the program were agreed to by the Minister of Public Health of Uruguay and the Executive Vice President of the Institute, in accordance with which there was established within the Ministry of Public Health the Servicio Cooperative Inter-Americano de Salud Piblica through which the cooperative program has been administered. These arrangements subsequently were modified to provide, among other things, for additional contributions to the co- operative program by the parties and for the extension of the pro- gram until December 31, 1947. It has been suggested that the cooperative program of health and sanitation in Uruguay be extended and I now have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that The Institute of Inter- American Affairs is agreeable to the extension of the program for a period from the expiration date of the present agreement, which is December 31, 1947, through June 30, 1948, with the understanding that the unexpended portion of funds heretofore contributed and those to be contributed by the two parties for the execution of the 68706-52-PT.
