It is understood that the funds contributed by both Governments will be expended through the special agency created within the Min- istry of Public Health and Social Welfare by your Government, which special agency is known as the Servicio Cooperativo Inter- Americano de Salud Publica. Detailed arrangements for the con- tinuation of this special agency and the fulfillment of the program will be effected by agreement between the appropriate official of the Gov- ernment of Peru and the appropriate official of the Institute of Inter- American Affairs of the United States of America.
