The Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs to the American Ambassador DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS CANADA No. 44 OTTAWA, March 0Oth, 1946. EXCELLENCY: I have the honour to refer to discussions which have recently taken place between representatives of our Governments on the subject of war surpluses and related matters. It is my understanding that these representatives have agreed on the following proposals which are acceptable to the Canadian Government. 2. With regard to defence installations and equipment owned by the United States Government and located in Canada and not yet other- wise disposed of, the two Governments have found it mutually ad- vantageous to expedite and simplify the procedure set forth in the 33rd Recommendation of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence and approved by the two Governments, while continuing to accept its underlying principles. To the extent, therefore, that this agree- ment is inconsistent with the exchange of notes of November 22nd and December 20th, 1944, it shall be regarded as superseding them. 3. It is agreed that for the sum of $12,000,000.00 (U. S.) the United States Government will transfer to the Canadian Government the following defence installations, projects and/or supplies and equip- ment connected therewith owned by the United States Government and located in Canada, the original cost price of which was approxi- mately $59,000,000.00 (U. S.). In each case the details are listed in appendices to this note, giving approximate original costs, as follows: (a) Immovable Property Original cost - $27,882,825.00 - Appendix I.
