SIm,
Under instructions from my Government, I have the honour to
refer to recent discussions with respect to the post-war disposition
of defence projects, installations and facilities built or provided in
Canada by the Government of the United States. This matter was
the subject of a recommendation of the Canada- United States Per-
manent Joint Board on Defence, adopted on January 13, 1943, and
subsequently embodied in an Exchange of Notes dated January 27,
Stat.1429.
1943.
After further study, and in the light of experience in connection
with specific agreements already reached, it appeared desirable to
the Board to amend its earlier recommendation and to make the
revised recommendation applicable to all projects, disposition of which
remains unsettled. Accordingly, on September 7, 1944, the Board
adopted the following recommendation:
'The Permanent Joint Board on Defence recommends that the
following formula be applied to the disposition of all defence facilities
constructed or provided in Canada by the United States (and mutatis
mutandis to any defence facilities constructed or provided in the
United States by Canada) which have not already been dealt with.
Immrovables
A-The Government of the United States shall, within three months
from the date of the approval of this Recommendation, supply
the Government of Canada with a list of immovables (herein-
after referred to as facilities) which it desires to make subject
to the provisions of this Recommendation.
B-In the case of each of the facilities included in the list referred
to in A, the Canadian Government and the United States Gov-
ernment will each appoint one qualified appraiser whose joint
duty it will be to appraise such facility in order to determine
the fair market value thereof at the time and place of appraisal
If the two appraisers cannot agree on the fair market value, they
will select a third appraiser to determine this value. The amount
set by the appraisers shall be paid to the United States Govern-
ment by the Government of Canada,
provided that the foregoing paragraphs A and B shall not
apply to any facilities heretofore specifically provided for;
