EXCELLENCY:
I have the honor to refer to my note No. 138 of April 17, 1942,
regarding the assignment to Mexico of Mr. Milton J. Lindner of
the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States Department of
the Interior, as well as to correspondence regarding the assignment
to Mexico of Mr. J . Adger Smyth, also of the Fish and Wildlife
Service of the United States Department of the Interior.
It will be recalled that in my note No. 138, I had the honor to sub-
mit to Your Excellency a proposed memorandum agreement covering
the suggested organization of cooperative work with reference to Mr.
Lindner.
Pursuant to instructions from my Government, I now have the
honor to submit a proposed memorandum covering agreement for
cooperative work with particular reference to the limnological serv-
ices to be rendered by Mr. Smyth, with the same general conditions
applying in his case as in the case of Mr. Lindner.
My Government has suggested that in the event Your Excellency's
Government finds this memorandum acceptable, Your Excellency's
reply to that effect might constitute full agreement without the
necessity of exchanging signed memoranda. Inasmuch as Mr.
Smyth's assignment under Public No. 63, 76th Congress of the United
States of America has expired, my Government has directed me to
request of Your Excellency the views of the Government of Mexico
at the earliest possible and convenient moment.
Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest
and most distinguished consideration.
