The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in the Dominican Republic (Schoenfeld)
Sir: The Department has received your despatch No. 971 of May 11, 1933, in further relation to the Department’s instruction No. 150 of January 27, 1933, in which the question was raised whether the Dominican Government concurs in the interpretation that, under the terms of the Habana Convention on Commercial Aviation, private aircraft of a country which is a party to the Convention are, subject to compliance with technical requirements as to entry and clearance and with the laws and regulations in force, entitled to enter the territory of another contracting party without the necessity of obtaining special authorization for the flight from the Government of the country to which the flight is to be made.
The Department notes from your despatch that the Dominican Government concurs in this interpretation. A statement to this effect has been sent to the Department of Commerce in order that it will be in a position to communicate the information to interested aviators.
Very truly yours,
