63 STAT.] BELGIUM-SURPLUS PROPERTY SETTLEMENT-MAY 12, 1949 Agreement between the United States of America and Belgium, amending the agreement of September 24, 1946, effecting a surplus property settlement. Signed at Paris May 12, 1949; entered into force May 12, 1949. AN AGREEMENT AMENDING THE AGREEMENT OF 24 SEPTEMBER 1946 RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF U.S. SURPLUS PROPERTY IN BELGIUM Under the terms of the Agreement Relating to the Transfer of U.S. Surplus Property in Belgium dated 24 September 1946, the Bel- gian Government, through the Office of Mutual Aid (OMA), has sold substantial quantities of the stocks turned over to it for sale under the terms of said Agreement. There still remain, however, considerable quantities which have not yet been sold. It is the desire of our two governments in accordance with the under- standing expressed in paragraph 7 of said Agreement, to agree as to the most advantageous and expeditious manner of liquidating these remaining stocks and to this end agree as follows: (1) The Belgian Government agrees to sell, prior to 1 July 1951, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement of 24 September 1946, all property (including scrap and salvage) specified in Article I of the Agreement, located in Belgium which has been or is, prior to 31 March 1949, declared to the Office of the Foreign Liquida- tion Commissioner as surplus to the needs of the Government of the United States and transferred to the Belgian Government for disposal. (2) The terms of this Amendment, in so far as they are in conflict with the terms of the Agreement of 24 September 1946, shall be con- sidered as controlling.
