EMBASSY OF CANADA

RIO DE JANEIRO, January 6, 1972

His Excellency Mario Gibson Barboza
Minister of External Relations
Brasilia

Excellency,

I have the honour to propose that an Agreement be concluded between our two Governments concerning the reciprocal granting of authorization to permit licenced amateur radio operators of either country to operate their stations in the other country during their stay there under the following conditions:

1. A person who is licenced by his Government as an amateur radio operator and who operates an amateur radio station licenced by such Government shall be permitted by the other Government, on a reciprocal basis and subject to the conditions stated below, to operate such a station in the territory of such other Government.

2. The person who is licenced by his Government as an amateur radio operator shall, before being permitted to operate his station as provided for in paragraph 1, obtain from the appropriate administrative agency of the other Government an authorization for that purpose.

3. The appropriate administrative agency of each Government may issue an authorization, as provided for in paragraph 2, under such conditions and terms as it may prescribe, including the right of cancellation at the convenience of the issuing Government at any time.

If the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil accepts the foregoing conditions, I have the honour to propose that this Note, of which the French and English are equally authentic, and Your Excellency's reply to that effect shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments which shall enter into force the date of Your Excellency's reply. This Agreement shall be subject to termination at any time on six months notice in writing by either Government.

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