Dear Ms. Schrage:
With reference to your letter dated June 30, 1998 concerning a
proposed extension of the AJT-TECRO Agreement for Technical Coo-
peration in the Field of Environmental Protection, our Ministry
of Foreign Affairs has the following suggestions:
1.To use the format of ”exchange of letters”instead of”exten-
sion of agreement”.
2.To state the effective date retroactive to June 21, 1998 in t-
he exchange of letters.
We hope that the above-mentioned suggestions are acceptable to
you.
Sincerely,
[Signed]
