[Received 3:54 p.m.]
102. Department’s telegram No. 61, March 9, 10 a.m., last paragraph my 98, March 8, 7 p.m.25 I have received the following letter from the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs:
(Translation) “Rio de Janeiro March 8th. Mr. Ambassador, I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the Brazilian Government has no worked-out plans for now or the near future for the repatriation of bonds in excess of the amortization indicated in this proposal. The Brazilian Government hopes that in due time improving trade and exchange conditions may permit it to avail itself of the provisions of article I (6) of the Aranha plan decree which permits such additional repurchases of this character. Please accept the expressions of my highest consideration. Oswaldo Aranha.”
