 57 STAT.] CANADA-ALASKA HIGHWAY-Sp. 10, 1942375 Sept. 10, 1942 August 26 and Sep- Agreement between the United States of America and Canada respecting tember 10, 1942 flight strips along Alaska Highway. Effected by exchange of notes [E.A. S .381] signed at Ottawa August 26 and September 10, 1942. The American Minister to the Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 744 Ottawa, Canada, August 26, 1942. SIR: With a view to increasing the value of the Alaska Highway, the American authorities are anxious to undertake the construction of eight flight strips to be located along the road. The tentative sites for these strips are as follows: No. 1 At Dawson Creek. No. 2 About 50 miles south of Ft. Nelson. No. 3 About 75 miles west of Ft. Nelson. No. 4 Approximately 40 miles east of Lower Post. No. 5 Approximately 55 miles west of Lower Post. No. 6 Approximately 60 miles southeast of Whitehorse. No. 7 Approximately 30 miles northwest of Whitehorse. No. 8 About midway between Burwash Landing and Snag. Although the flight strips will in all cases be located along the high- way, they will be so placed in direction as to benefit by the prevailing wind. My Government believes that the construction of these eight flight strips along the highway, which will result in its greater usefulness, falls within the scope and under the terms of the project as agreed to in our exchange of notes of March 17-18, 1942, but inasmuch 8 - as mention thereof was not specifically made in the text, it would welcome a confirmation from you of its belief. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. PIERREPONT MOFFAT. The Right Honorable The SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, Ottawa.
