The Icelandic Minister for ForeignAffairs to the American Minister UTANRKISBRsDNEYTID [l] REYxJAViK, January27, 1945. 59 Stat. 1464 . Transportation of passengers, etc., to and from Iceland. Db. 65.D.1. (oskast tllgreint I svarl) MONSEUB LE MI TISTRE, I have the honour to refer to our exchange of notes, dated today, establishing an agreement between Iceland and the United States of America relating to air transport services. Furthermore I wish to refer to our conversation concerning the said agreement, in which I expressed the desire, considering that Iceland is an intermediate point on the contemplated air route, to have an additional article included in the agreement to insure the transporta- tion of passengers and mail to and from Iceland in both directions. However this question was not stressed, because Your Excellency assured me, that this was a matter, which might more properly be taken up separately, as it did not come within the scope of a general basic agreement, such as the one which just has been concluded between Iceland and the United States. With reference to the aforesaid I have the honour to request, that through the good offices of the Legation, the Government of the United States arrange, that the operators of the airlines concerned transport Icelandic passengers and mail to and from Iceland in both directions, on an equal basis with nationals of other countries, and further that the charges for such transportation be fixed in proportion to the distances. I have the honour to renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. OLAFTu THOBS. His Excellency Lous G. DRETYFus, Ministerof the United States of America, Reykjavik. [Translation: Ministry of Foreign Affairs.] January 27 and April 11, 1945 [T. I. A. S. 1621]
