 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [63 STAT. on January 3, 1946. between the Ministry of Education and Health of the Government of the United States of Brazil and the Inter- American Educational Foundation, Inc., now the Education Divi- 0oStat. 1788 sion of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs. 2. In the said note, Your Excellency informed me that, consider- ing the mutual benefits derived from the cooperative program of vocational education, the period of which, under the terms of the 60 Stat. 17 . Basic Agreement of January 3, 1946, terminated on June 30, 1948, the Government of the United States of America agrees with the Gov- ernment of the United States of Brazil as to the desirability of its extension. 3. Your Excellency likewise informed me that the Government of the United States of America has considered that arrangements might be made for the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, to which the property and functions of the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Inc., have been transferred, to continue its participation in the said cooperative program for one year more, or from June 30, 1948, through June 30, 1949, upon the condition, however, that a formal agreement for extension of the cooperative program is signed by authorized representatives of our two Governments not later than September 30, 1948. 4. However, by virtue of a careful study of the conditions and procedures to govern extension of the said cooperative program of vocational education forming the subject of the agreement in question, it was not possible for it to be concluded before September 30, 1948, the date set in Your Excellency's note. I therefore suggest to Your Excellency that the date on or before which the agreement for exten- sion of the cooperative program of vocational education must be concluded between the Ministry of Education and Health of Brazil and the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, be extended to October 31, 1948. 5. It shall be stipulated in the extension agreement that, during the period of the extension of the afore-mentioned program, that is, from June 30, 1948, to June 30, 1949, the Institute of Inter-American Affairs will contribute $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand dollars) U.S. Cy. to the credit of the Comissao Brasileira-Americana de Educagao Industrial, for use in carrying out project activities of the program, the Government of the United States of Brazil being obligated to contribute to the same organization for the same purpose the sum of Cr$7,000,000.00 (seven million cruzeiros). 6. The Institute of Inter-American Affairs will also agree to make available, during the same extension period, an amount not exceed- ing $125,000.00 (one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars) U. S. Cy., for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of its Education Division Field Staff in Brazil, which sum is not to be deposited to the account of the said ComissAo Brasileira-Americana de Educagao Industrial and is to be retained by the Institute. The amounts referred to shall be in addition to the sums already required under the Basic Agreement to be contributed by the parties in further- ance of the program. 2866
