1. The U.S. signed an agreement with the Government of Brazil on
"Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space" on March 1, 1996.

notes.

indicated the Government of Brazil's willingness to extend this
agreement with an exchange of notes. Post seeks Department's
guidance on whether the U.S. is willing to extend this agreement
with a simple exchange of notes.
