1378 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [57 STAT. The CanadianSecretary of State for ExternalAffairs to the American Minister DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS CANADA No. 171 OTTAWA, December 7, 194. SIR, I have the honour to refer to your note No. 798 of November 28, 1942, in which you propose, on behalf of your Government, that the Haines- Champagne cut-off road shall henceforth be considered an integral part of the Alcan Highway, subject in all applicable respects to the terms of the agreement reached in our exchange of notes of March 17-18, 1942. This proposal appears to be covered by the decision of the War Committee on November 18, 1942, that permission be given to the United States to construct the Highway on the understanding that terms would be worked out between the two countries similar to those in effect for the Alaska Highway. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. N A ROBERTSON (for) Secretary of State for External Affairs. The UNITED STATES MINISTER TO CANADA, Ottawa, Canada.
