asked the Under-Secretary of State for Burma what arrangements now exist for the financing of the Rice Project Board, Burma; and what alterations to these provisions are contemplated.

The temporary finance required by the Agricultural Projects Board, which includes the Rice Project, is provided by advances from the Government of Burma which will normally be repaid within the current year. No alteration to this arrangement is proposed.
