Excellency: I have the honor to confirm my understanding of the views developed by the conversations which have recently taken place at Habana between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Cuba with reference to the exportation of avocados and pineapple slips from Cuba to the United States of America, its territories and possessions, as follows:
The conversations between the two Governments have resulted in a mutual understanding that the Government of Cuba agrees not to permit the exportation of avocados to the United States of America by any carrier clearing from the final Cuban port or place of call except during the period from June 1 to September 30, inclusive, of each year, beginning with the calendar year 1935, and that the Government of Cuba will promulgate forthwith and enforce the regulations necessary to make this commitment effective.

I shall be obliged if I may receive your confirmation of the correctness of this understanding.
