57 STAT.] ARGENTINA-MILITARY AVIATION INSTRUCTORS June 23, 1943 1069 Sept. 2, 1943 The Argentine Ambassador to the Secretary of State EMBAJADA DE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA D. E. No. 166 WASHINGTON, September 2, 1943. EXCELLENC : I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your note of June 23, 1943 in which you are good enough to inform me that the renewal for a further period of two years of the agreement-providing for the detail of United States Army Air Corps officers to assist the Argentine Ministry of War-entered into on June 29, 1940 and ex- tended by an exchange of notes on June 29, 1941, is entirely accept- able to your Government. Two points were raised in Your Excellency's note. With regard to the first, it will be entirely satisfactory to my Government to omit the word "regular" in the first paragraph of the agreement. With reference to the second point, that is, the free entry into Argentina of such articles and items as are furnished by the United States Government to the Mission for the use of the latter in the performance of its duties, my Government directs me to say: 1. That it will be pleased to consider favorably the requests for the free entry of personal effects, furniture, furnishings and luggage-including a used motorcar of the member of the Mission and his family; and 2. That whilst the Argentine Department concerned is not au- thorized to grant the right of free entry in general terms, it will be pleased to grant the free entry (of such mate- rials as are referred to in Your Excellency's note) upon request and prior knowledge of their nature in each case. Accept, Excellency, the assurances of mly highest consideration. FELIPE A. ESPIL Argentine Ambassador To His Excellency The Secretary of State, Mr. CORDELL HULL, Washington, D.C .
