BROWN: I have the honor to refer to your courteous letter of today's date, informing me that your attention has been called to a legal detail in connection with the Exclusive Agreement Supplementary to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade which we are signing today as representatives of our respective governments. I have noted carefully the contents of your letter and, in reply, I am pleased to inform you that I am entirely in agreement with your statements, that is, that we are signing the Exclusive Supplementary Agreement on the understanding that the general language in which it is worded would not prevent either of the parties, while they are parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, from notify- ing the other of its intention to terminate the Treaty of 1902 and the Trade Agreement of 1934, by observing the one-year and six-months notice, respectively, prescribed therein in the case of denunciation. Very truly yours, S I. CLARK SERGIO I. CLARK Chairman, Delegation of Cuba. Mr. WINTHROP G. BROWN, Acting Chairman, Delegation of the United States of America Palais-des-Nations.
