Effected by exchange of notes signed at Guatemala June 29 and July 10, 1948; entered into force July 11, 1948, operative retroactively from June 30, 1948. The American Ambassador to the Guatemalan Minister for Foreign Affairs No. 90. GUATErALTA, June 29,1948. EXCELExNCT: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement between the Re- public of Guatemala and the Inter-American Educational Founda- tion, Inc., dated August 12, 1944, as later modified and extended, which provided for the initiation and execution of the existing co- operative educational program in Guatemala. I also refer to the note of April 16, 1948, [1] in which the Ambassador of Guatemala to the United States of America requested the Secretary of State of my Government to arrange, if possible, for the extension of that Agreement. In accordance with legislation enacted during 1947 by the Congress and approved by the President of the United States all of the prop- erty, funds, functions, personnel, liabilities, and restrictions of the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Inc., were transferred to The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, a corporate instrumentality of the United States created by such legislative action. Consequently, the participation by the United States in the cooperative education program is now being effectuated through The Institute of Inter- American Affairs. As Your Excellency knows, the agreement of August 12, 1944, provides that the cooperative education program will terminate on July 30, 1948. However, considering the mutual benefits which both governments are deriving from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Guatemala that an extension of such pro- gram would be desirable. I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington that arrangements may now be made for the Institute to continue its participation in the cooperative program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1948, through June 30, 1949. It would be understood that, during such period of extension, the Institute would make a contribution of $20,000 United States Currency to the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Educacion for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that your Government would contribute directly to the Servicio for the same purpose the sum of Q80,000, in addition to the sum of not less than Q40,500 which the Republic in its regular budget will expend on 'Not printed. 4032
