Original typed report of 4 pages in English (we would expect it to be in Spanish. )Text states the Mission studied the port in detail for over a year beginning in Apirl 1951. Surveys of Port organization and administration were made during the above period by a recognized authority in this field. And detailed background studies going back over a period of six years were also made during this period.

Report is accompanied by original photographs glued to report pages illustrating the problems covered in the report. Photos are fine and all identified with handwritten notes. Photos include: 28-- 7x9 inches; 3 --5x7 inches gloss (one photo is loose and not identified); 2 --7x9 inches photos are taped together to offer a panoramic view of the port; 11--3-1/2 x 4-1/2 inches (these last 11 photos are not identified.)
