The American Ambassador to the Haitian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs 2649 June 25, 30, 1948 [T. I. A. S. 1801s AMERICAN EMBASSY, Port-au -Prince,Haiti,June X5, 1948 NO. 710 EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement between the Republic of Haiti and the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, which arose out of notes exchanged between the President of the Re- public of Haiti and the Under Secretary of State of the United States of America on April 7, 1942, as later modified and extended, which provided for the initiation and execution of the existing cooperative health and sanitation program in Haiti. I also refer to Your Excel- lency's note of June 24, 1948,[ 1] suggesting the consideration by our respective Governments of a further extension of that Agreement. As Your Excellency knows, the Basic Agreement under reference 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 Haiti that an extension 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 $70,000 United States currency to the Service Cooperatif Inter-American de la Sante Publique for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that your Government would contribute to the Service for the same purpose the sum of at least 1,050,000 Gourdes ($210,000.00). The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be retained by the Institute and not de- posited to the account of the Service for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Institute Health and Sanitation Field Staff who are maintained by the Institute in Haiti. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the present Basic Agreement to be contributed and made avail- able by the parties in furtherance of the program.
