'...Four-the Yukon, Columbia, Porcupine, and Kootenay-begin in Canada and flow into the United States. Five-the Milk, Pend d'Oreille, Saint Lawrence, Red, and Saint John-begin in the United States and flow into Canada. Of these, the Milk and the Kootenay cross the international border twice, the Milk leaving and then re-entering the United States, the Kootenay leaving and then re-entering Canada. The drainage basins of these nine rivers extend into both countries; in addition, the drainage basins of six others-the Fraser, Assiniboine, South Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Nelson, and Winnipeg-extend into the United States even though their main stems flow entirely within Canada.'
