3766 60 Stat. 1526, 1639. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. the United States Government accept liability to pay for items issued within such limits from British sources to the Greek armed forces out- side the agreed programmes in respect of Greek demands submitted after the 22nd May but before the arrival of the United States Mission and before the agreed programmes were drawn up. With reference to the fourth paragraph of your note, His Majesty's Government confirm that your note in no way affects the status of Lend-Lease articles which are subject to the United States-United Kingdom Military Holdings Agreement of the 27th March, 1946, which sets out the procedure to be followed when either the re-transfer or the re-capture of such articles is to be carried out. It is assumed that any supplies sent by His Majesty's Government to the Greek Government for the use of the Greek civil police will be dealt with in the same way as supplies to the Greek Army and Gendarmerie. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you the assurance of my highest consideration. INvERoHAPEL The Honourable GEORGE C. MARsHAI, Secretary of State of the United States, Washington, D.C .
