Effected by exchange of notes signed at Port-au -Prince June 30, 1949; entered into force June 30, 1949. The American Ambassador to the HaitianSecretary of Statefor Foreign Affairs AMERICAN EMBASSY No. 305 Port-au-Prince,June 30, 1949 EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, as amended, en- tered into in April 1942 on behalf of the Republic of Haiti and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providing for the present cooperative health and sanitation program in Haiti. I also refer to Your Excellency's note of June 20, 1949, ['] suggesting the consider- ation by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agreement. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are de- riving from the program, my Government agrees with the Govern- ment of Haiti that an extension of the program beyond its present termination date of June 30, 1949, would be desirable. Accordingly, 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 program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1949, through June 30, 1950. It would be understood that, during this period of extension, the Institute would make a contribution of $100,000, in the currency of the United States, to the Service Coop- eratif Inter-Americain 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 1,500,000 Gourdes. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be expended by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Service, for pay- ment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Health and Sanitation Division field staff, who are maintained by the Insti- tute of Haiti. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the present Basic Agreement, as amended, to be contributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program. The Government of the United States of America will consider the present note and your reply note concurring therein as constituting an agreement between our two Governments, which shall come into 1 Not printed. 2706
