are located for the purpose of facilitating the provision 
                        of reciprocal aid.                  
 
                                                            
 
 
6. It is my understanding that all such aid accepted by the 
      President of the United States or his authorized representatives 
      from the Government of the United Kingdom will be received as 
      a benefit to the United States under the Act of March 11, 1941. 
      In so far as circumstances will permit, appropriate record of 
      aid received under this arrangement, except for miscellaneous 
     facilities and services, will be kept by each Governmen
 
                                                            
 
 
7. The aid to be provided each other by the signatory Governments 
      under the Agreement of February 23, 1942, and as indicated above, 
      will be provided on the same terms by each Government to the 
      forces of such of the other United Nations as shall enter into 
                 similar arrangements with them.            
 
                                                            
 
 
If the Government of the United States concurs in the foregoing, 
      I would suggest that the present note and your reply to that 
      effect be regarded as placing on record the understanding of 
               our two Governments on this matter.          
 
                                                            
 
 
I have the honor to be et cetera, et cetera.
