- Minister of Hacienda informally advised me that wording suggested for first paragraph of article XIII would be acceptable provided “by exporter” be inserted immediately after the word “documentation”.

- The Minister also informally stated he would accept note 1 if phrased to read as follows: “For the importation and sale of food products of any kind now classified under sections 1 and 2 of the Guatemalan customs tariff the Guatemalan Government will not require certificates nor impose special regulations which may be impossible of fulfillment in the United States because of the lack of a duly authorized federal agency for that purpose”.

- The same arrangement for note 2 would also be acceptable.

- Minister of Hacienda is today advising the Minister for Foreign Affairs with regard to above for formal notification to the Legation.
