The Ambassador of the United States of America to the Secretary of State for External Affairs of Canada

OTTAWA, July 27, 1967

No. 31

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

Sir:

I have the honor to refer to the Agreements between our two Governments effected by exchanges of notes dated June 7 and 8, 1965, and April 19 and July 28, l966, 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 and 1966 Agreements mentioned above:

Six (6) crystal oscillator units, type CW-35044,
Four (4) timers, type UE-1 (in "as-is" condition) and associated spares.

If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of Canada, I have the honor 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.

W. W. Butterworth
