In common with the Government of Canada, the United States Government wishes the NATO Status of Forces Agreement to apply to all United States forces throughout Canada, including those at the leased bases, when, pursuant to Article 18, the NATO Status of Forces Agreement has come into effect in respect of both Canada and the United States. As the Canadian Government is aware, however, the United States Government attaches great importance to the maintenance of certain arrangements at the leased bases under the Leased Bases Agreement of 1941, [2] as modified [3] as a result of the recommendations of March 30, 1950 by the Permanent Joint Board on Defense. These arrangements concern the operation of institutions under government control known as post exchanges, ships service stores, commissary stores and service clubs for the use of the United States forces, civilian employees who are United States nationals employed by the United States Government in connection with the bases or members of their families resident with them and not engaged in any business or occupation in Canada. The provisions of the Leased Bases Agreement concerning tax and customs exemptions, modified in accordance with the recommendations of the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, are also satisfactory. The United States Government does not, therefore, wish to alter these arrangements. Subject to the concurrence of the Canadian Government in the foregoing, the United States Government agrees that the NATO 1 Treaties and Other International Acts Series 2846; 4 UST, pt. 2, p. 1792. 2 Dated Mar. 27, 1941.
