The Vice-President of the International Court of Justice, Acting President,

Having regard to Article 48 of the Statute of the Court and to Article 44, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Rules of Court,

Having regard to the Order of 9 April 1998, by which the Vice-President of the Court, Acting President, fixed 9 June 1998 and 9 September 1998, respectively, as time-limits for the filing of the Memorial of Para- guay and the Counter-Memorial of the United States;

Whereas by a letter of 20 May 1998, the Agent of Paraguay requested the Court to extend to 9 August 1998 the time-limit for the filing of its Memorial and explained the reasons for that request; and whereas on receipt of that letter the Registrar, referring to Article 44, paragraph 3, of the Rules of Court, transmitted a copy thereof to the Agent of the United States ;

Whereas by a letter of 4 June 1998, the Agent of the United States indi- cated that his Government concurred that additional time should be accorded to the Parties for the filing of their written pleadings and pro- posed that the time-limits fixed in the Order of 9 April 1998 be extended, respectively, to 9 October 1998 for the filing of the Memorial of Paraguay and 9 April 1999 for the filing of the Counter-Memorial of the United States; and whereas the Agent of Paraguay, duly informed of the matter, indicated that this proposa1 was acceptable to his Government;

Taking into account the agreement of the Parties,

Extends to 9 October 1998 the time-limit for the filing of the Memorial of Paraguay ; Extends to 9 April 1999 the time-limit for the filing of the Counter- Memorial of the United States; and Reserves the subsequent procedure for further decision.
