The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Lane)
33. Your 51, section B. Commitments which we have made in other trade agreements but which cannot for reasons of policy already explained to you be included in Schedule 2 of the Nicaraguan agreement include the following: From the agreement with Haiti—pineapples, prepared or preserved guavas, mango and guava paste and pulps, rum, sisal fiber, and ginger root.
From the Honduran agreement—sarsaparilla root.
From the agreement with the Netherlands—cocoa and chocolate, cocoa butter, sisal cordage, harvest hats, aloes, kapok, crude gutta percha, citronella oil, palm oil, tapioca and cassava.
From the Brazilian agreement—castor beans and beeswax.
You may use the above information orally. If Nicaragua strongly desires this information in writing you are authorized to indicate that it may be supplied informally in the normal course of routine correspondence in response to an inquiry from the Nicaraguan Government. If this arrangement is satisfactory we will cable proposed drafts of communications to be exchanged. The Department trusts that these details may be postponed until after signature of the agreement in order not to cause delay at the present time.
