The American Ambassador to the Uruguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs EMBAssY OF THE UNImED STATES OF AMERIGA No. 88 Montevideo, June B5, 1948 EXCELLENCY : I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, as amended, between the Oriental Republic of Uruguay and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, arising out of the exchange of notes between His Excellency Juan Carlos Blanco, Ambassador of Uruguay to the United States of America and His Excellency A. A. Berle, Jr., Acting Secretary of State of the United States of America, dated October 1, 58 tat. 1434 . 1943 and November 1, 1943, as later modified and extended, Ante, pp. 4108, 41174 which provided for the initiation and execution of the existing co- operative health and sanitation program in Uruguay. I also refer to Your Excellency's note of May 26, 1948, [1] suggesting the con- sideration by our respective Governments of a further extension of that Agreement. As Your Excellency knows, the above referred to Basic Agreement provides that the cooperative health and sanitation program will terminate on June 30, 1948. However, considering the mutual bene- fits which both governments are deriving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Uruguay that an exten- sion of such 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 participation in the coopera- tive program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1948, through June 30, 1949. It would be understood that, during such period of extension, the Institute would make a contribution of $50,000 U. S. Cy. to the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Publica for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that your Government would contribute to the Servicio for the same pur- pose the sum of not less than $250,000 U. S. cy. 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 ac- 'Not printed.
