Excellency:
I have the honor to refer to the agreement between our two Governments relating to
the loan of a floating dry dock to the Republic of the Philippines, effected by an
[1]
exchange of notes signed at Manila on September 28 and October 4, 1961 and to
your Government's request for an extension of the period of the loan of that vessel. I
further have the honor to inform Your Excellency that my Government is agreeable
to that request and proposes that the afore- mentioned agreement be amended as
follows:
1. Delete paragraph number 2 and substitute the following:
“2. The Government of the Republic of the Philippines will retain
possession of, and will use, the vessel subject to the terms and conditions
of this note and of the agreement between our two governments effected
by an exchange of notes signed on June 26, 1953, as said agreement may
be amended."
2. Substitute "ten years" for "five years" in paragraph number 3 of that agreement.
If this proposal is acceptable to your Government, I have the honor to propose that
this note and Your Excellency's reply concurring therein constitute an agreement
which shall enter into force on the date of your reply note.
Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.WILLIAM MCCORMICK BLAIR, JR.
