progress by the United States and Canada in reducing transboundary air

a bilateral Air Quality Committee. This Committee is responsible for 
reviewing progress made in the implementation of the Agreement, 
preparing and submitting periodic progress reports to the Governments, 
referring each progress report to the International Joint Commission, 
and releasing those reports to the public. The second progress report 
of the Committee is now available and may be obtained from:
