60 STAT.] CANADA-DEFENSE INSTALLATIONS- Ma 1 .30, 1946 July 11, 15, 1946 that flyable non-combat type aircraft other than Ansons will not be disposed of as flyable aircraft outside of Canada with- out consultation between appropriate agencies of the two Governments. The United States Government agrees that in the case of proposed sales of this type it will not unreason- ably withhold its agreement. (d) It is further agreed that any similar property which may become available in Canada following May 30th, 1946, shall be dealt with in a like manner, provided that the United States Government shall give thirty days' notice from the date of such property becoming available in Canada of its intention to return such property to the United States. 8. The Canadian Government will designate an agency to coordinate the acceptance of custody of property transferred under this agree- ment by the United States Government to the Canadian Government. It is understood that the United States Government will not abandon property transferred to the Canadian Government under this agree- ment until after having provided a reasonable opportunity for the Canadian Government to arrange for custody. 9. It is understood that this agreement does not affect existing agree- ments between the two countries relating to the transfer of responsi- bility from the United States to Canada for defence projects. 10. At the request of the Canadian Government, and in order to provide equipment necessary for the training programmes of the Canadian armed forces, the United States Government will endeavour to make available surplus military type equipment, up to April 1st, 1947, in such quantities and at such prices as may be negotiated be- tween the two Governments up to a maximum cost of $7,000,000.00 (U.S.). The Canadian Government will make a payment on account into a suspense account of the United States Government of $7,000,000.00 (U.S.) to apply against such purchases. If the United States Government is unable to provide under this agreement the amount of equipment that the Canadian Government desires to pur- chase and therefore the payment on account should exceed the amount finally determined to be payable, the excess remaining in the suspense account will be returned to the Canadian Government. 11. The effective date of this agreement shall be March 31st, 1946, except that with regard to sales of movables concluded and invoiced by War Assets Corporation on or before that date, the Canadian Government will make payment to the United States Government in accordance with existing agreements. During the period in which the negotiations have been in progress, and pending the coming into force of the agreement, the United States Government has undertaken and undertakes not to remove from Canada any of the property covered by the agreement. 80634O S--4r-PT .
