    Synopsis: The proposed agreement modification deletes the United 
States Australasia Agreement as a party to the agreement, changes the 
agreement name to the United States/Australasia Discussion Agreement, 
and deletes the Pacific Islands from the geographic scope. The 
amendment breaks Article 5.1(a) into two sub-paragraphs and revises the 
language of various sub-paragraphs to clarify the authority contained 
in the agreement. New sub-paragraphs 5.1(c) and 5.1(d) authorize 
agreement and multi-carrier service contracts. The parties are deleting 
the reference to conferences in Article 7, adding voting procedures for 
agreement service contracts and amendments in Article 8, and deleting 
Article 11 authorizing Independent Action. The amendment also makes 
technical corrections required by Australian law to Appendix B.
