The Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of Canada to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Honduras

SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA, 20 November

No. 21

His Excellency Lic. César Batres
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Excellency,

I have the honour to propose that an Agreement be concluded between our two Governments concerning the reciprocal granting of authorisation to permit licensed 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 licensed by his Government as an amateur radio operator and who operates an amateur radio station licensed 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 licensed 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 authorisation for that purpose.

3. The appropriate administrative agency of each Government may issue an authorisation, 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 Honduras accepts the foregoing conditions, I have the honour to propose that this Note, of which the French and English versions are equally authentic, and Your Excellency's reply to that effect shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments which shall enter into force fifteen days after the date of Your Excellency's reply. This Agreement shall be subject to termination at any time on sixty days' notice, in writing, by either Government.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Hélène Simard,

Chargé d'Affaires a.i.
