The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Colombia (Lane)
1030. Embassy’s 1392, August 13. It is understood from your telegram that there are no tacit understandings on the part of the Colombian Government which would obligate Rubber Development to build any particular airports at any particular places or to supply planes and that the agreement is merely permissive in nature, authorizing Rubber Development to take such action under the aviation agreement as in its discretion seems necessary for the rubber program. If you are satisfied that there can be no misunderstanding in this connection, the Department and Rubber Development are agreeable to the execution of the agreement without further changes.79
- The agreement was signed December 27, 1943.↩
