statistical compilations that should be undertaken by the Mexican

outline of propoed
Following is an outline of the plan under which the Fish and Wild-
life Service proposes to cooperate with the Department of Fisheries
of Mexico:
1. The Fish and Wildlife Service will assign to Mexico Mr. Milton
J. Lindner, an aquatic biologist of its Division of Fishery Biology
who is already known to the Mexican authorities, to assist in planning
and directing the proposed studies, his services to be rendered on a
part-time basis covering a period of approximately six months of
each of two consecutive years.
2. The Fish and Wildlife Service will pay Mr. Lindner's salary and
other expenses during the entire period of his services.
3.- The Fish and Wildlife Service will provide, for the duration of
the studies, part-time clerical assistance, for Mr. Lindner; pay ex-
penses incident to the annual rental, furnishing, equipment and sup-
plies for an office and laboratory in Mexico City, or elsewhere in
Mexico; and defray all expenses incident to communication services
and the transportation of supplies, equipment and scientific materials.
4. The Fish and Wildlife Service will also loan for the duration of
the studies such supplies, equipment, books, or other materials as it
may now have available for that purpose.
5. It is proposed that the Government of Mexico assign three
assistants for the shrimp investigations and pay their salaries and
travel and subsistence expenses, and that additional personnel be
provided if studies of other fisheries are undertaken simultaneously.
Persons already employed by the Mexican Department of Fisheries
or persons familiar with the marine fisheries and possessing training
in biology shall be given preference for these assignments, and it is
suggested that they be selected with a view to their future employ-
ment by the Department of Fisheries to carry out the recommenda-
tions made at the end of the two year study.
6. It is proposed that the Government of Mexico provide suitable
office and laboratory facilities and equipment for the investigation
at Guaymas, Sonora; that funds be made available for the charter,
when needed, of a small vessel for off-shore studies at an estimated
annual cost of about 2,500 pesos; and that approximately 5,000 pesos
be set aside for miscellaneous scientific equipment, and miscellaneous
fishing equipment and supplies (including 2,500 pesos for shrimp pins
and tags which have already been ordered by the Mexican Govern-
ment),
7. The expenses incident to the obligations mentioned in Items 5
and 6, shall be paid directly by the Mexican Government.
