B. To avoid the necessity of making adjustments hereafter in certain accounts and to facilitate the determination of certain amounts payable under sub-paragraph 3A of this Agreement, the two Governments agree upon $17,820,000 as the cost of supplies and services transferred to the Netherlands Government through the agency of the United States War and Navy Departments, on cash reimbursement terms not subsequently converted to straight lend- lease terms, under lend-lease requisitions which, when filed by the Netherlands Government, called for direct cash reimbursement, but not including lend-lease requisitions filed directly with the United States Navy Department. This sum of $17,820,000, hereto- fore paid by the Netherlands Government, includes an allowance for charges not yet reported and is not subject to adjustment. Such allowance will be disregarded in determining claims under subparagraph 3A (3) of this Agreement.
