The Hague, December 14, 1954.

Dear General Gruenther,

I thank you for your letter of December 14, 1954, relative to the SHAPE Air Defense Technical Center.

My Government has taken note with much satisfaction of the plan to locate this Center in the Netherlands and is willing to take, in anticipation of the transfer of the Center, whenever NATO may desire, to SHAPE or some designated subsidiary body of the NATO Council, all necessary measures within its power, including those requested in your letter, to facilitate the establishment and to further the work of the Center.

As to the status in the Netherlands of the foreign personnel employed by or assigned to the Center, my Government are prepared to grant the following:

1) inviolability for all papers and documents relating to the work on which they are engaged for the Center. The same shall also be granted to Netherlands personnel employed at or assigned to the Center;

2) the same immunities from immigration restrictions, aliens' registration, and national service obligations, as are accorded to diplomatic personnel of comparable rank. The same shall be granted to their spouses and members of their immediate families residing with and dependent on them;

3) the same facilities in respect of currency or exchange restrictions as are accorded to diplomatic personnel of comparable rank;

4) the right to import free of duty their furniture and effects at the time of first arrival to take up their post at the Center or at the time of first arrival of their spouses and members of their immediate families, as mentioned under 2) above, to join them; and on the termination of their functions at the Center, to re-export such furniture and effects free of duty, subject in all cases to such conditions as my Government may deem necessary;

5) the right to import temporarily free of duty their private motor vehicles for their own personal use and subsequently to re-export such vehicles free of duty, subject in either case to such conditions as my Government may deem necessary;

6) the exemption from taxation on the salaries and emoluments paid to them by the Center in consequence of their employment;

7) the same facilities in respect of their personal baggage as are accorded to officials of foreign Governments on official missions;

8) the same repatriation facilities in time of international crisis as are accorded to diplomatic personnel of comparable rank. The same shall be granted to their spouses and members of their immediate families residing with and dependent on them.

The Minister of Defense,

(sd.) C. STAF

General Alfred M. Gruenther,

Supreme Allied Commander Europe,
