The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)
2806. Rubber Development Corporation has advised the Department of the likelihood that in the near future the necessary approval of the interested Brazilian authorities will be obtained for the scheme outlined in Allen’s letter of July 28 to Dr. Bouças which was quoted in part in Department’s A–1045 of July 31, 1944 concerning the increased use of synthetic in Brazilian rubber manufacturing industry. Inasmuch as this will involve a modification of the plan established by the exchange of notes of October 3, 1942, RDC believes it will be necessary to modify that plan by a similar exchange of notes.
You are authorized to exchange notes with the Foreign Office at the appropriate time modifying the agreement of October 3 in accordance with the plan outlined in Allen’s letter of July 28 with such minor modifications, if any, as may appear to the Embassy and to the Rio office of RDC to be necessary and acceptable.70
