[The Introductory Statement is reproduced from U.S. Department of State Press Release, No. 394.

[On November 25, 1981, the Governments of Canada and the United States notified the International Court of Justice of the Special Agreement to Submit to a Chamber of the International Court of Justice the Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary in the Gulf of Maine (see I.L.M. page 1378). In notifying the Court, the Governments stressed the importance of early consultations with the President of the Court so that he would be in a position to ascertain their views with regard to the composition of the Chamber. They also stressed the importance of forming the Chamber prior to the commencement of the terms of office of those Members of the Court elected in the triennial election held this year. The Government of Canada notified the Court of its intention to exercise the power conferred by Article 31 of the Statute of the Court to choose a judge ad. hoc in these proceedings. In Canadian Weekly of December 16, 1981, it was stated that Maxwell Cohen, a law professor at McGill University and former Canadian chairman of the International Joint Commission will be nominated at act as judge in this case.

[Information accompanying the original transmittal of the treaty to the Senate of the United States appears at I.L.M. page 1373, together with the original text of the Treaty at I.L.M. page 1377. The report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on the Treaty appears at I.L.M. page 1383, together with the text of the resolution of ratification which contains the alterations of the Treaty at I.L.M. page 1389.]
