No. 353

The Honourable Paul Martin,
Secretary of State for External Affairs,
Ottawa

Sir:

I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between our two Govern­ments effected by an exchange of notes dated June 7 and 8, 1965 concerning the loan of Long Range Aid to Navigation (LORAN-A) equipment by the United States Coast Guard to the Canadian Department of Transport for use at Canadian Loran-A stations.

It has since developed that the United States Coast Guard is prepared to make available the following additional equipment, which I understand the Canadian Department of Transport will accept, for the further modernization of the LORAN-A stations in question under the same understandings and conditions as set forth in the 1965 Agreement mentioned above:

Twelve (12) Automatic Synchronizers (SN-108).

If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of Canada, I have the honour to propose that this note and your note in reply to that effect shall constitute a further agreement between our two Governments regarding this matter effective from the date of your reply, and which shall remain in force for the duration of the original 1965 Agreement cited above.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Joseph W. Scott

Chargé d'Affaires ad interim
