      Kingdom are prepared to extend to the United States Government 
      are as follows:-

      Bermuda and the United States naval authorities to lease premises, 
      land stores and in general make use of the ports in these three 
      islands. Leases embodying these facilities were drawn up and 
      signed by the United States authorities and the appropriate British

      1500 feet by 500 feet adjacent to the Trinidad aerodrome where 
      they could store supplies, erect a small radio station etc.
 
      
 
 
(4) Pan-American Airways acting as agents for the United States 
      Government to be allowed to lease an area of approximately one 
      square mile near Georgetown, British Guiana on which an aerodrome 
      could be constructed.
 
      
 
 
(5) Pan-American Airways acting as agents for the United States 
      Government to be allowed to construct an aerodrome near Kingston,
