 3350 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. transmitting stations licensed by the United States or Canadian Gov- ernments could be carried from the territory in which it is licensed into the territory of the other country, without being removed from the vehicles in which such equipment is installed, on condition that this equipment be sealed in such a manner as to prevent its operation while it is in the territory of the latter country. I am enclosing samples of the seals [1] which United States Customs officials would use in sealing Canadian equipment entering the United States. Conversely, if the arrangement is satisfactory to your Gov- ernment, it is suggested that similar samples of seals, to be used by Canadian Customs officials for the same purpose, be transmitted to this Government, together with a statement of conditions concerning their use. This exchange of seals would be useful as a basis in arrang- ing notification of the licensees of the equipments that they may expect to have their equipment sealed and that it should be so adapted as to permit sealing. I suggest that, if an agreement in the sense of the foregoing para- graphs is acceptable to the Government of Canada, this note and your reply thereto in similar terms be regarded as constituting the terms of an understanding on the subject between the two Governments. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration. For the Secretary of State: GARRISON NORTON Enclosure: Samples of Seals. ['] Mr. THOMAS A. STONE, Charge d'Affaires ad interim of Canada.
