VOCATIONAL INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

PROGRAM

Exchange of notes at Rio de Janeiro July 23 and October 21 and 27, 1948, amending and extending agreement of March 26 and April 5, 1946;1 agreement between Brazilian Ministry of Education and Health and Inter-American Educational Foundation October 30, 1948

Entered into force October 30, 1948

Amended and extended by agreement of August 23 and September 29, 1949 2

Program expired December 31, 1963

I have the honor to refer to the Basic Agreement between the Government of the United States of Brazil and the Inter-American Educational Foundation, Inc., dated January 3, 1946,3 as amended, which provided for the initiation and execution of the cooperative program of vocational education in Brazil. I also refer to Foreign Office note (DAI/87/542.2 (22) of July 19, 1948 suggesting the consideration by our respective Governments of a further extension of that Agreement.

In accordance with legislation enacted during 1947 by the Congress of the United States of America and approved by the President of my country all of the property, 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 my Government created by such legislative action. Consequently, the participation by

my Government in the cooperative program of vocational education is now being effectuated through The Institute of Inter-American Affairs.

As Your Excellency knows, the Basic Agreement of January 3, 1946, as amended, provided that the cooperative program of vocational education terminate on June 30, 1948. However, considering the mutual benefits which both governments have derived from the program, my Government agrees with the Government of Brazil that an extension of such program would be desirable. I have been advised by the Department of State in Washington, D.C. 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, upon the condition that a formal agreement, providing for the extension of the cooperative program, is signed by authorized representatives of our two governments not later than September 30, 1948. It would be understood that during such period of extension, namely, from June 30, 1948 through June 30, 1949, the Institute would make a contribution of $100,000.00 U.S. Cy. to the credit of Comissão BrasileiraAmericana de Educação Industrial for use in carrying out project activities of the program on condition that your Government would contribute to the same organization for the same purpose the sum of Cr$7,000,000.00. The Institute would also be willing during the same extension period to make available an amount not exceeding $125,000.00 U.S. Cy. to be retained by the Institute, and not deposited to the account of the Comissão BrasileiraAmericana de Educação Industrial, for payment of salaries and other expenses of the members of the Institute, Education Division, Field Staff, who are maintained by the Institute in Brazil. The amounts referred to would be in addition to the sums already required under the Basic Agreement to be contributed and made available by the parties in furtherance of the program.

If Your Excellency agrees that the proposed extension on the above basis is acceptable to your Government, I would appreciate receiving an expression of Your Excellency's opinion and agreement thereto as soon as may be possible in order that the technical details of the extension may be worked out by officials of the Ministry of Education and The Institute of Inter-American Affairs.

In accordance with the desire of your Government that the cooperative work of Comissão Brasileira-Americana de Educação Industrial be continued pending the signing of the formal agreement to extend the cooperative education program, and in order to assure continuity of the program, my Government is willing to continue to maintain in Brazil the staff of specialists in vocational education of The Institute of Inter-American Affairs which was provided for in the Basic Agreement for such time as it may be reasonably necessary to reach an agreement on the technical details of the extension agreement. Your Excellency will appreciate, however, that no funds can be deposited to the account of Comissão Brasileira-Americana de Educação Industrial by The Institute of Inter-American Affairs until the formal agree
