secret

638. Deptel 478, October 31.63 Virtual agreement has been reached on rentals [as] follows: No change in previous rental for Rio Hato and San José; 25 dollars per hectare for all other lands both public and private. Road maintenance payment still under discussion at my having suggested 100,000 and Panama asking 150,000. Believe we can settle for 125,000 or a little less. With exception of roads, arrangements so far conform to army expectations.
