The American Ambassador to the BrazilianMinisterfor ForeignAffairs RIo DE JANEIRO, July 22, 1949. EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic' Agreement, as amended, entered into in March 1942 on behalf of the Republic of the United States of Brazil and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providei for the present cooperative health and sanitation program in Brazil. I also refer to the note of Your Excellency's Ministry of July 2, 1949, DAI/80/512.(22), ['] suggesting the consideration by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agreement. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are deriving from the program, my Government agrees with the Govern- ment of Brazil 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 six months from June 30, 1949 through December 31, 1949. It would be understood that the Institute will continue to pay salaries and other expenses of its health and sanitation field staff in Brazil during the period, of such extension and that no additional financial contribution would be required to be made by the parties to such extension agreement to or on behalf of the Servico Especial de Saude Publica. It would be further under- stood that the unexpended and unobligated balance of all financial contributions heretofore made available by the parties pursuant to the mentioned Basic Agreement, as amended, for the cooperative health and sanitation program, and remaining at the close of June 30, 1949, would continue to remain available for such purpose during the period covered by the extension agreement. The Government of the United States of America will consider the present note and your reply concurring therein as constituting an agreement between our two Governments, which shall come into force after signature [21 of an agreement by the Minister of Education and Health of Brazil and a representative of The Institute of Inter- American Affairs, embodying the above-mentioned technical details 'Not printed.
