INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [63 STAT. "Each member of the Mission and his family shall be furnished by the Government of the Republic of Ecuador with first-class accommodations for travel, via the shortest usually traveled route, required and performed under this Agreement, between the port of embarkation in the United States of America and his official residence in Ecuador, both for the outward and for the return voyage. The Government of the Republic of Ecuador shall also pay all expenses of shipment of household effects, baggage and automobile of each member of the Mission between the port of embarkation in the United States of America and his official resi- dence in Ecuador, as well as all expenses incidental to the trans- portation of such household effects, baggage and automobile from Ecuador to the port of entry in the United States of America. Transportation of such household effects, baggage and auto- mobile shall be effected in one shipment, and all subsequent ship- ments shall be at the expense of the respective members of the Mission except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or when such shipments are necessitated by circumstances beyond their control. Payment of expenses for the transportation of families, household effects and automobiles, in the case of personnel who may join the Mission for temporary duty at the request of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Ecuador, shall not be required under this Agreement, but shall be determined by nego- tiations between the Department of the Air Force of the United States of America and the authorized representative of the Min- istry of Defense of the Republic of Ecuador in Washington at such time as the detail of personnel for such temporary duty may be agreed upon." The Department of the Air Force desires the following substitutions in the wording of the basic Agreement in order that the current or- ganization of the United States Air Force may be properly reflected: 4 Stat. W 7. a. Preamble: Substitute "United States Air Force Mission" in lieu of "Military Aviation Mission." b. Article 6: Delete "Lieutenant Colonel or Major." Substitute "Department of the Air Force" in lieu of "War Department" and "United States Air Force" in lieu of "United States Army Air Corps" wherever it appears in this Article. c. Article 9: Substitute "United States Air Force" in lieu of "United States Army Air Corps" wherever it appears in this Article. d. Article 11: Substitute "United States Air Force" in lieu of "United States Army Air Corps." In the event that the above proposals are acceptable to your Gov- ernment, I shall consider this note and your response to that effect as completing the Agreement between the two Governments for the renewal of the Agreement of 1940, notwithstanding the provision of 54 tat. 238. Title I, Article 3. 2544
