Additional funds. EXCELLrENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, as amended, entered into in March 1945 [11 between the Republic of Paraguay and the predecessor of The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providing for the existing cooperative education program in Paraguay. I also refer to Your Excellency's note D.P. y D. number 852 of July 22, 1949 [2] suggesting the consideration by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agreement. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are deriv- ing from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Paraguay 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 par- ticipation 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 $25,000, in the currency of the United States, to the Servicio Coopera- tivo Interamericano de Educaci6n, 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 Guaranies 212,075.85. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be administered by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Servicio, for pay- ment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Education Division field staff who are maintained by the Institute in Paraguay. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already re- quired under the present Basic Agreement, as amended, to be con- tributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program.
