The semantics of e-models for tense logics with binary operators for
`until' and `since' (US-logics) was introduced by Bellissima and Bucalo in
1995. In this paper we show the adequacy of these semantics by proving a general
Henkin-style completeness theorem. Moreover, we show that for these semantics there
holds a Stone-like duality theorem with the algebraic structures that naturally arise
from US-logics.
