 62 STAT.] SPAIN-AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES Dec 21 1945 4079 Jan. 15, 1946 In accordance with instructions from the Department of State the Embassy has the honor to inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that it would appreciate its consent to the effecting of an appropriate revision of the route definition as set forth in Article I (a) 2 of the Bilateral Air Agreement referred to above, to be modified to read as 68 S tat 1473- follows: "Route 2. A route from the United States through Lisbon to Ma- drid, proceeding therefrom (a) to Rome and points beyond and (b) to Algiers and points beyond, return being made over the same route." The establishment of two routes to be operated from Madrid by Transcontinental World Airways (the name of this company having been modified recently to better describe the greater scope of its op- erations) will add considerably to the volume of traffic through Ma- drid, particularly as the route which it is now proposed to add will permit of through service by TWA from New York to Madrid, thence to the important traffic centers of Rome and Athens, which would be touched on the route to Cairo. The Embassy expresses the hope that approval for this additional route through Madrid may be formalized by an early indication of the Ministry's willingness to effect the appropriate modification of Article I (a) 2 of the agreement of December 2, 1944, as set forth above.
