The American Ambassador to the PeruvianMinisterfor ForeignAffairs EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Lima, Peru, August 17, 1949. EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, as amended, entered into on May 19, 1943 between the Republic of Perid and the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providing for the existing cooperative food production program in Perd. I also refer to Your Excellency's note of August 9, 1949 [i] suggesting the consideration by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agree- ment. Considering the mutual benefits which both governments are de- riving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Perd that an extension of the program beyond its present termina- tion date of June 30, 1949 would be desirable. Accordingly, I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that arrange- ments 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 $150,000, in the currency of the United States, to the Servicio Cooperativo Inter- Americano 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/. 4,724,400. 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 Food Supply Division field staff who are maintained by the Institute in Perd. 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 ' Not printed. 67 Stat. 1405; 88 stat. 1484; 61 stat., Pt. 3, pp. 3123, 3326; 62 Stat., Pt. 3, p.3584.
