 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. "A. The Government of the United States will grant to French airlines the same rights on the following routes: "1. France via intermediate points over a North Atlantic route to New York and Washington; in both directions. "2. France via intermediate points over a North Atlantic route to Montreal and Chicago; in both directions. "B. In the establishment and technical and commercial oper- ation of the long range services mentioned above, the airlines of each of the two countries shall take into consideration the interests of the airlines of the other in order not to affect unduly the services which the latter perform on all or part of the same routes. "The right of the airlines of each country to embark and dis- embark, in the cities and on the routes enumerated above, pas- sengers, mail and goods destined to or coming from third countries, is accorded with the view to permitting more economical operation of the long range services performed by the said airlines, such services to retain as their primary objective the connection between the country of which each airline is a national and the country of ultimate destination. "I would add that the French Government will consider favor- ably the requests which may be presented to it by the Government of the United States for flights in addition to the two per week provided in the existing Agreement, it being understood that the French Government will have benefit of the same frequencies. Termination. "Conforming to the proposal made by the Government of the United States, the French Government agrees that the addition to the existing Agreement, constituted by the present communi- cation together with the letter from Your Excellency of today's date, may be terminated at any time by either Government, such denunciation to take effect at the expiration of one month following written notification to the other Government." I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the foregoing provisions are acceptable to the Government of the United States. I take this occasion to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. JEFFERSON CAFFERY His Excellency Monsieur GEORGES BIDAULT, Minister of ForeignAffairs, Paris. 3478
