Deputy Chief of Mission 

Embassy of the United States 

Jakarta, Indonesia 

Dear Mrs. Kristen Bauer, 

6 February 2014 

Subject: Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the United States 

of America and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia COncerning the 

Establishment of the American-Indonesia Exchange Foundation (AMINEF) 

Referring to your letter, No. 000090, dated 15 January 2014, regarding the proposal for 

extension of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the United 

States of America and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia Concerning the 

Establishment of the American-Indonesia Exchange Foundation {AMINEF), I would like to 

convey good intention to renew our agreement as stated during our video conference on 

28/29 January 2014. The Ministry, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of 

Indonesia, agrees to the Embassy's proposal that, pursuant to Article XV of the MOU, the 

MOU be extended for an additional five-year period. 

The Ministry agrees to all references to change the title of "Ministry of National Education" 

in the MOU to "Ministry of Education and Culture" (References to Article X, Article V.3, and 

Article V.6). 

Since our partial funding contribution to provide AMINEF space office rent was classified as 

non-compliance to current budget regulation by BPK (the supreme auditor) in 2011, we are 

still giving our best effort to find out the solution in accordance with the current laws and 

regulation in Indonesia. As expression of our desire to continue supporting the agreement 

between the two governments managing the AMINEF, if it is agreed we would be more than 
happy to exert our effort to find office space for AMINEF located within the premise of the 

Ministr.v of Education and Culture. 

The Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia avails itself the 

opportunity to renew to the Embassy of the United States in Jakarta the assurances of its 

highest consideration. 

Sincerely, 

AinunNa"fm 

Secretary General
