      have thought it advisable to leave the precise hour for crossing 
      the border to be fixed by you. Perhaps you will be good enough 
      to let me know your views on this matter.
 
      
 
 
We hope that it will be found convenient for Their Majesties 
      to return to Canada via Rouses Point on the morning of Monday, 
      the 12th of June.
 
      It is, I presume, appropriate that we should specifically agree 
      that Canadian responsibility for all aspects of Their Majesties' 
      journey will cease at the border of the United States, and that 
      your responsibility similarly will terminate when the King and 
      Queen re-enter Canada on the 12th of June.
 
      
 
 
You will, I know, appreciate that a great deal of detailed 
      work will have to be done by the railroad officials of our two 
      countries in order to ensure that the transference of Their Majesties' 
      train to United States lines and its subsequent return to the 
      Canadian side of the border are accomplished without delay or 
      inconvenience· To this end I have appointed a sub-committee 
      on transportation under the Chairmainship or Mr. V. I. Smart, 
      Deputy Minister of Transport. He will be assisted by Mr. N. B. 
      Walton, VicePresident
