Dear Sir:

I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for the Establishment of a Binational Educational Exchange Foundation, done at Washington on 15 November 1999, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement").

I propose, on behalf of the Government of Canada, that Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 9 of the Agreement be amended to read as follows:

Article 9, Paragraph 1

"This Agreement shall enter into force upon signature and shall remain in force until terminated. The Foundation shall exist for as long as the Agreement remains in force."

Article 9, Paragraph 3

"Either Government may terminate the Agreement by written notice to the other, in which case the Agreement shall terminate thirty (30) days after the end of the first calendar year that begins following the date of such notice."

All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain the same.

In the event that the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of the United States of America, I have the honour to propose that this Note, the English and French versions of which are equally authentic, and your Note in reply shall, in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 9 of the Agreement, constitute an Agreement to amend the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America for the Establishment of a Binational Educational Exchange Foundation, done at Washington on 15 November 1999, which shall enter into force on the date of the last note of an exchange of diplomatic notes between our two Governments confirming that all necessary internal procedures for its entry into force have been completed.
