Pt. 3, entered into on August 12, 1944, between the Republic of Guatemala pp.4008, oz. and the predecessor of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, pro- viding for the existing cooperative education program in Guatemala. I also refer to Your Excellency's note of May 23, 1949, [2] suggesting the consideration by our respective Governments of a further exten- sion of that Agreement. Period of extension. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are de- riving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Guatemala that an extension of the program beyond its present ter- nination date of June 30, 1949, would be desirable. Accordingly, I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that ar- rangements may now be made for the Institute to continue its partici- contribution. pation 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 $30,000, in the currency of the United States, to the Servicio Coop- erativo Interamericano de Educacion, 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 Q120,000. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds in an amount not to exceed $90,000 to be ad- ministered by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Servicio, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Education Division field staff who are maintained by the In- stitute in Guatemala. 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 fur- therance of the program.
