CDAC02231: Draft Statement to the House of Commons (June 6, 1958)

This draft statement and attached notes cover the primary concern of the Canadian Government regarding the publicity surrounding the refuelling bases. The development of these bases was classified, so the details stated in the House were those that the Government was willing to publicize. The statement emphasizes both Canadian influence over American operations and the broader necessity of deterrence. 

The noted letter from Khrushchev regarding SAC operations in Canada can be found in CDAC02226
