The American Ambassador to the PeruvianMinisterfor ForeignAffairs EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 1022 Lima, June 28, 1948. EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement between the Government of Peru and the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, 67 Stat. 1405. dated May 19, 1943, as later modified and extended, which provided for the initiation and execution of the existing cooperative food pro- duction program in Peru. I also refer to Your Excellency's note of June 26, 1948 ['] suggesting the consideration by our respective Governments of a further extension of that Agreement. As Your Excellency knows, the Agreement of May 19, 1943, as amended, provides that the cooperative food production program will terminate on June 30, 1948.

It would be understood that, during such period of extension the Institute would make a contribution of $100,000 in United States currency to the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Producci6n de Alimentos for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that your Government would contribute to the Servicio for the same purpose the sum of S/. 3,149,600. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available an amount not exceeding $200,000 United States currency to be retained by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Servicio, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Institute Food Supply Field Staff who are maintained by the Institute in Peru. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the present Basic Agreement to be contributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program. If Your Excellency agrees that the proposed extension on the above basis is acceptable to your Government, the Government of the United I Not printed. 3584
