STERLING, Jr. The Minister of Public Health to the Representative of The Institute of Inter-American Affairs I have the honor to inform you that at the meeting of the Council of Ministers held on the 10th of this month to consider the note of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs of the United States of America, which you represent, the Executive Power of the Nation resolved to accept the extension to December 31, 1947 of the agreement concluded in November 1943 concerning the health and sanitation program to be carried out in Uruguay. Being informed of the terms of your note, as well as of the work accomplished with the collaboration of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, the Council of Ministers unanimously agreed especially to note in the records the results achieved in that field and at the same time to express their desire to continue maintaining that bond with the Inter-American Cooperative Service, and the extension of the agreement was thus approved and this Ministry of State was authorized to sign the new agreement in representation of the Executive Power. I am pleased to transmit herewith a certified copy of the respective act of the Council of Ministers and to state to you that the Ministry of Public Health under my direction gives its approval to the terms of the proposal contained in your letter of the 9th of this month, referred to above. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you the assurances of my special consideration. CERTIFIED COPY:-Copy of Act No. 433, corresponding to the meeting held by the Council of Ministers on April 10, 1946: "A little later, the Minister of Public Health stated that Mr. Clarence I. Sterling, representative of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs of the United States, was in our capital city and that in accordance with steps initiated at the opportune time by Dr. Mattiauda, the former Minister, and continued by the Ministry at present under his direction, he was proposing the continuation for another year of the program of preventive medicine which is being carried out in Uruguay in collaboration with that Institute and which will expire December 31 next. Dr. Forteza added that although even before the said agreement was signed that campaign had been started in our country, its results have been much more positive since we had the cooperation of the aforementioned agency, not because there is a lack of technicians here, for we have very able professionals in this field, but because of the orientation of methods that is being put into practice. He continued saying that the agreement, aside from its scientific character, embodies a symbolic aim, as he had opportunity to point out in the Senate when the original project was approved, because it constitutes another manifestation of the Good Neighbor Policy initiated by President Roosevelt. Therefore Dr. Forteza proposed that the Council declare that the work accomplished through this agreement has been beneficial to the country and that it is desired to continue to maintain this link with the Inter-American Cooperative Service; this proposal was unanimously accepted and consequently the said extension was approved and the Minister was authorized to sign the respective document with Mr. Sterling." The foregoing is a true and faithful copy of the original that appears in the Minutes of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Uruguay. JULIÁN F. ALVAREZ C. AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES Agreement signed at Montevideo December 14, 1946 Entered into force provisionally December 14, 1946 [For text, see 15 UST 2115; TIAS 5692.] CERTIFICATES OF AIRWORTHINESS FOR EXPORT Exchange of notes at Montevideo January 3 and July 17, 1947 Department of State files The American Embassy to the Minister for Foreign Affairs MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY January 3, 1947 No. 4 EXCELLENCY: Acting under instructions of my Government, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the Civil Aeronautics Administration of my Government is considering a change in the procedure of granting certificates of airworthiness for export covering unassembled aircraft and components which have not been previously assembled and flight tested. At present the issuance of a certificate of airworthiness for export constitutes a certification that the specific aircraft being exported has been examined and found to comply with applicable standards and requirements of the Civil Aeronautics Administration and any special requirements stipulated by the country of import. Such examinations have included inspection and flight testing of the aircraft after final assembly. Certificates of airworthiness for export covering aircraft components likewise evidenced inspection after assembly. Because of the mass production methods and tooling now employed by most American aircraft manufacturers, individual parts of a given model are substantially identical or interchangeable. For this reason final assembly of the aircraft can be accomplished away from the factory without difficulty and it is not considered necessary that such aircraft be flight tested by Civil Aeronautics Administration inspectors before exportation from the United States. Therefore, in order to obviate the need of assembling aircraft for flight testing, with attendant expense and delay, and subsequently disassembling for export shipment, Civil Aeronautics Administration is contemplating the issuance of certificates of airworthiness for export for unassembled aircraft which have not been previously assembled and flight tested. Likewise, Civil Aeronautics Administration contemplates issuing such certificates cover 308-581-74- -66 |
