Office Memorandum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO Assistant General Counsel
FROM Deputy Assistant Director for Operations
SUBJECT: Tax Exemption for FBIB Property on Cyprus
DATE:-29 June 1948
REFERENCEs Memorandum to Assistant General Counsel from Assistant Director
for Operations, dated 21 June 1948, subject as above
1. A report has just been received from the Assistant
Chief, FBIB Mediterranean Bureau on Cyprus, that the Colonial
Secretary on Cyprus has advised that an interim reply has
been received from the Secretary 'of State for the Colonies.
It is stated that there "is nothing in the 'reciprocity
agreement' which directly or indirectly concerns exemption
from taxes. The agreement is concerned with technical
monitoring and communications, rather than with adminis-
trative matters." It is further stated by the Colonial
Office in London that "it is likely that the American
authorities will before long bring their monitoring unit
in Cyprus into conformity with other similar units else-
where, so that its property will be held in the name of
the State Department and will be entitled to normal diplo-
matic privileges, including tax immunity."

RESTIUCIED
