Sir:
I have the honor to refer to your Note No. D-99 of May 1, 1954, stating that the Canadian Government considers that the construction and operation of a Loran Station on Cape Christian, Baffin Island, is in the defense interest of both countries and that it is prepared to authorize the erection and operation of the proposed station by the United States Coast Guard, subject to the conditions contained in the Annex attached to the Note. The United States Government concurs in the conditions mentioned, on the understanding that this agreement is subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The United States Government confirms that your Note and this reply shall constitute the agreement of our two Governments regarding the proposed stations.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my most distinguished consideration.
The Honorable Brooke Claxton
Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs
