Effected by exchange of notes signed at La Paz July 28 and 29, 1949; entered into force July 29, 1949, operative retroactively from June S0, 1949. The American Charge d'Affaires ad interim to the Bolivian Ministerfor ForeignAffairs and Worship AMERICAN EMBASSY La Paz, July 28, 1949 No. 870 ExcELLENCY: I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement, as amended, entered into in July 1942 P] between the Republic of Bolivia and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs, providing for the existing cooperative health and sanitation program in Bolivia. I also refer to Your Excellency's note No. TC. y ONU. 618 of July 5, 1949, [] suggesting the consideration by our respective governments of a further extension of that Agreement. Considering the mutual benefits which both Governments are de- riving from the program, my Government agrees with the Govern- ment of Bolivia that an extension of the program beyond its termination date of June 30, 1949, would be desirable. Accordingly, 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 program for a period of one year, from June 30, 1949, through June 30, 1950. It would be understood that, during this period of extension, the Institute would make a contribution of $100,000.00 in the currency of the United States, to the Servicio Cooperativo Inter-Americano de Salud Publica, for use in carrying out project activities of the program, on condition that your Govern- ment would contribute to the Servicio for the same purpose the sum of Bs. 28,000,000.00 . The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available funds to be administered by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Servicio, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Health and Sanitation Division field staff who are maintained by the Institute in Bolivia. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the present Basic Agreement, as amended, to be contributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program.
