The Japanese Ambassador presents his compliments to the Honorable the Secretary of State and has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the Secretary’s note dated September 16, 1941,66 regarding the Treasury Department’s information to the Department of State on the waiving of requirements in filing reports for duly accredited diplomatic officers of foreign governments and employees in diplomatic missions.
In connection with this matter, the Ambassador is instructed to inform the Secretary of State that, in conformity with the spirit and aim of the agreement reached in Tokyo on September 15, 1941,66 the Japanese Government desires to propose to waive, on a basis of reciprocity, the requirement to file reports personally with respect to the property not only of duly accredited diplomatic officers and employees in diplomatic missions as referred to in the Secretary’s note above-mentioned, but also consular officers or employees and other officials or employees of foreign governments.
This the Japanese Government proposed to do provided it meets with the approval of the American Government.
