The Government of the Republic of Ecuador shall also pay all expenses of shipment of household effects, baggage and automobile of each member of the Mission between the port of embarkation in the United States of America and his official resi- dence in Ecuador, as well as all expenses incidental to the trans- portation of such household effects, baggage and automobile from Ecuador to the port of entry in the United States of America. Transportation of such household effects, baggage and automo- bile shall be effected in one shipment, and all subsequent shipments shall be at the expense of the respective members of the Mission except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or when such shipments are necessitated by circumstances beyond their control. Payment of expenses for the transportation of families, house- hold effects and automobiles, in the case of personnel who may join the Mission for temporary duty at the request of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Ecuador, shall not be required under this Agreement, but shall be determined by negotiations between the Department of the Navy of the United States of America and the authorized representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Ecuador in Washington at such time as the detail of personnel for such temporary duty may be agreed upon."
