No. 475 Ottawa, April ^^, 1974' 



Excellency, 



I have the honour to refer to the agreement between the Government 

 of Canada and the Government of the United States of America on 

 reciprocal fishing privileges in certain areas off their coasts, done at 

 Ottawa on June 15, 1973. [1] 



Paragraph eight (8) of that agreement provides that it shall remain 

 in force until April 24, 1974, and that representatives of the two gov- 

 ernments shall consult prior to the expiration of the period of its 

 validity with a view to possible amendment and/or extension. 



Such consultation has taken place, and the Government of Canada 

 considers it desirable to extend the agreement for a further period of 

 time. I, therefore, have the honour to propose, on behalf of the Gov- 

 ernment of Canada, that this agreement be extended for 14 days from 

 April 24, 1974. 



I have the honour further to propose that, if acceptable, this note, 

 which is authentic in English and in French, and your Excellency's 

 reply to that effect shall constitute an agreement between our two 

 governments, which shall enter into force on the date of your reply. 



Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest considera- 

 tion. 



Mitchell Sharp, 



Secretary of State for 



External Affairs. 



His Excellency the Honourable Willla.m J. Porter, i 



Ambassador of the United States of America, ]
