an Affairs, "which became effective on January 28, 1986. If this

Dear Mr. Pan :
I refer to the "Guidelines for a Cooperative Program in the Agr-
icultural Sciences between the American Institute in Taiwan and
the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, "which bec-
ame effective on January 28, 1986. A copy of that document is e-
nclosed for your reference.
I herewith propose that Article 6 of the Guidelines entitled ;I-
nitial Areas of Cooperation;, be amended by adding four (4) add-
itional topics to the six (6) topics listed. The additional top-
ics will be as follows :
7 Product marketing and development.
8 Forest management.
9 Research and professional enhancement involving natural reser-
ves and wildlife management.
10 Professional enhancement and assistance involving agricultu-
re, forestry, land preservation, land planning and urban de-
velopment. The funding of cooperative activities is delinea-
ted in Article 4 of the Guidelines. At present, the U. S. D-
epartment of Agriculture (USDA) makes funds available to the
Taipei Office of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT/T) to
carry out cooperative programs in Taiwan agreed to by the U-
SDA and the Council of Agriculture (COA). Those funds are t-
hen sent by AIT/T to the Taipei office of the Coordination
Council for North American Affairs (CCNAA / T ) for payment
to the COA. It is my understanding that the COA is also pre-
pared to make funds available to the USDA for relevant prof-
essional enhancement cooperative programs with the common c-
onsent of USDA and COA to be carried out in the United Stat-
es.
