The Secretary of the Special Boundary Tribunal, Guatemala-Honduras (Cohen), to the Secretary of State

Sir: I have the honor to convey the appreciation of the Tribunal to you, to Assistant Secretary of State, Hon. Francis White, and to the various divisions of the Department of State which have given their invaluable assistance in securing the facilities of several services of the Federal Government, and of the Governments of the Central American Republics, in connection with the aerial Survey of certain portions of the territory in dispute between Guatemala and Honduras, directed in the Tribunal’s Ruling of June 29, 1932.

The generous response met with by the request of the Tribunal for such facilities, furnishes additional evidence of the active interest displayed by the Government of the United States, over a period of many years and through the Department of State, in the amicable settlement of the longstanding controversy between the Republics of Guatemala and of Honduras.

I avail myself [etc.]

B. Cohen
