EXCELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, ['] as amended, entered into in January 1943, 2] on behalf of the Republic of Ecuador and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providing for the existing cooperative health and sanitation program in Ecuador. I also refer to Your Excellency's note no. 120 of July 14, 1949, 12] suggesting the consideration 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 Government of Ecuador that an extension of the program beyond its present termi- nation 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 Salud Publica, 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 6,030,000 sucres (the equivalent of U.S. $450,000 at the rate of 13.4 sucres to the dollar). 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 payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Health and Sanitation Division field staff who are maintained by the Institute in Ecuador. 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 will come into I Signed Feb. 24, 1942.
