The Cuban Secretary of State (Torriente) to the American Secretary of State
Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of today’s date, communicating to me your 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.
Your Excellency’s understanding is in exact accord with my own. The conversations between the two Governments have resulted in a [Page 177] 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.
These conversations between the two Governments have also developed the further understanding that the Cuban Government will permit the exportation of pineapple slips to the United States of America, its territories and possessions, subject to such regulations as the Cuban Department of Agriculture may establish.
I avail myself [etc.]
