IM. PANAMA, 14 de junio de 1949. Tanslation REPUBLIO OF PANAMA D.0. oP.No. MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS DIVISION I DEPARTMENT OF CEREMONIAL AND PROTOCOL The Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents its compliments to the Embassy of the United States of America and has the honor to refer to the Embassy's note verbale of March 16, 1949, relating to the diplomatic visas and official visas that the Government of Panama issues to diplomatic functionaries and officials of the Government of the United States. The Embassy requests that those visas be valid for entering the country as often as necessary, for the period of one year, provided the passports are valid also for such period. The Ministry considers that in the case contemplated by the Embassy reciprocity should be applied and, therefore, is entirely agreeable to granting the diplomats and functionaries of the Govern- ment of the United States a visa to enter Panama subject to the same conditions under which the Government of the United States grants a visa to the diplomats and official functionaries of the Government of Panama to enter the United States. The Ministry has therefore addressed all diplomatic representations of Panama, instructing them to the effect that, beginning with July 1, 1949, the visas granted to United States diplomats and official functionaries must bear a statement to the effect that such visas are valid for entering Panama as often as necessary, for the period of one year, provided the passports are also valid for such period.
