249. Editorial Note
An exchange of notes between Tunisia and the United States on March 26 formalized the conclusion of an economic and technical assistance program which had been the subject of negotiation since mid-February. Prior to the end of the United States fiscal year on June 30, $5.5 million would be made available to Tunisia, in addition to the earlier grant of $6.5 million in emergency wheat. Up to $5 million was to be in the form of commodity credits. Proceeds from the sale of such commodities in Tunisia would be applied toward the support of projects and activities in the Tunisian development budget. Approximately $500,000 could be utilized for individual technical cooperation projects. For texts of the notes, see 8 UST 427.
