I refer also to the request of the Ministry of Education of the Government of Perú that the Government of the United States of America continue to make available the services of one or more social anthropologists to assist in furthering the development of social sciences in Perú.

Pursuant to that request, I have the honor to state, at the instance of my Government, that the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution is prepared to cooperate with the appropriate Peruvian authorities in the continued conduct of anthropological research and investigation in Perú in accordance with the following principles and procedures:
