It is understood that such officers and clerks shall be Polish nationals and not engaged in any private occupations for gain and that no article for the importa- tion of which is prohibited by the laws of the United States shall be imported by them. If agreeable to this, it is suggested that October 30, 1945 shall be set as the date on which this reciprocal agreement shall become effective. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.
