221 No. 137. 1865, January 18: Joint Resolution providing for the 

 Termination of the Reciprocity Treaty^ of June 5, 1854, be- 

 tween the United States and Great Britain. 



[Public Resolution No. 5.] 



Whereas it is provided in the Reciprocity Treaty concluded at 

 Washington, the fifth of June, eighteen hundred and fifty-four, be- 

 tween the United States of the one part, and the United Kingdom of 

 Great Britain and Ireland of the other part, that this Treaty " shall 

 remain in force for ten years from the date at which it may come into 

 operation, and further until the expiration of twelve months after 

 either of the High Contracting Parties shall give notice to the other 

 of its wish to terminate the same;" and whereas it appears, by a 

 Proclamation of the President of the United States bearing date 

 sixteenth March, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, that the Treaty 

 came into operation on that day ; and whereas, further, it is no longer 

 for the interests of the United States to continue the same in force: 

 therefore 



Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 

 States of America in Congress assembled, that notice be given of the 

 termination of the Reciprocity Treaty, according to the provision 

 therein contained for the termination of the same ; and the President 

 of the United States is hereby charged with the communication of 

 such notice to the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Brit- 

 ain and Ireland. 



Approved, January 18, 1865.
