LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

OTTAWA, April 23, 1934

No. 219

Sir,

Pursuant to the provisions in Article 6 of the General Regulations annexed to the International Radiotelegraph Convention signed at Washington on November 25, 1927, there was effected by an exchange of notes between the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada, dated October 2, 1928, December 29, 1928, and January 12, 1929, an arrangement governing radio communications between private experimental stations in the two countries.

The International Telecommunication Convention and the General Radio Regulations annexed thereto, signed at Madrid on December 9, 1932, will, when effective, abrogate and replace in the relations between the contracting governments the International Radiotelegraph Convention and the General Regulations of Washington, 1927.

I have the honor, therefore, for and in the name of my Government and by its direction, to propose that the above-mentioned arrangement governing radio communications between private experimental stations, effected by an exchange of notes, shall be deemed and understood by the two Governments to continue to apply to private experimental stations and to amateur radio stations, without change, under Sections 1 and 2 of Article 8 of the General Radio Regulations annexed to the International Telecommunication Convention of Madrid, 1932, when the said Convention and Regulations shall have been ratified by both Governments.

The Government of the United States will be pleased to consider the above-stated understanding to be effective on the date of the receipt of a note from the Government of the Dominion of Canada stating its acceptance of such understanding.

I avail myself of the occasion to renew to you, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
