No. 82

His Excellency Mr. Abba Eban
Minister for Foreign Affairs
Jerusalem

Excellency,

I have the honour to propose, on instructions from my Government, that an Agreement be concluded between our two Governments to permit amateur radio stations of Canada and Israel to exchange messages or other communications from or to third parties under the following conditions:

Amateur radio stations of Canada and Israel may exchange messages or other communications from or to third parties provided:

(a) the amateur stations exchanging such third party communications are not paid any direct or indirect compensation therefor; and

(b) such communications shall be limited to conversations or messages of a technical or personal nature, for which, by reason of their unimportance, recourse to the public telecommunications service is not justified.

If the Government of Israel is prepared to accept the foregoing, I have the honour to propose that this Note and your reply thereto shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments which shall have effect from the date of your reply. This Agreement shall be subject to termination at any time on sixty days' notice in writing by either Government.

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