C2. WILLOUGHBYS MAIN CONCERN WAS WITH THE. PROVISION OF THE AIDE MEMOIRE THAT QUOTE ANY FLIGHTS NOT RPT NOT COVERED BY SCHEDULE QUOTE B UNQUOTE(EG OVERFLIGHTS BY MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT DELIVERING .4 NUCLEAR WARHEADS TO USA FORCES,OTHER THAN SAC,IN EUROPE,OR IN CONNECT- 24 ION WITH THE NATO PROGRAMME)WOULD ALSO BE SUBMITTED TO(THE CDN GOVT) THROUGH THE DIPLOMATIC CHANNEL AS SPECIAL CASES FOR ITS CONSIDERATION AS IN THE PAST UNQUOTE.He. WONDERED,FOR INSTANCE,WHETHER THE REQUEST t I FOR AN ELEVEN DAY PROGRAMME OF LOGISTIC FLIGHTS WHICH WE HAD APPROVED EARLY IN MAR AND WHICH YOU AUTHORIZED US TO SAY WAS ONE OF THE TYPE WHICH CDN MINISTERS WOULD BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER AS A QUOTE SPECIAL CASE UNQUOTE,INDICATED THAT CDN GOVT WOULD BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER REQUESTS FOR APPROVAL OF PROGRAMMES FOR LOGISTIC FLIGHTS ON A THREE-T0-F OUR -MONTH BASIS.RUTTER THOUGHT THAT IF THIS WERE SO THE CDN PROPOSAL WOULD MEET USA NEEDS.HE EMPHASIZED THAT ONE OF THE CHIEF CONCERNS OF USA WAS TO FACILITATE PROGRAMMING OF LOGISTIC FLIGHTS TO AND FROM EUROPE WHICH WERE NOT RPT NOT NECESSARILY ON BEHALF OF. SAC ITSELF.(HE POINTED OUT THAT MANY LOGISTIC FLIGHTS MIGHT BE ON BEHALF OF BOTH SAC AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS LIKE NATO STOCKPILING.)IT WAS FOR THIS REASON THAT THE STATE DEPT HAD REQUESTED THAT WE AGREE TO SCHEDULE QUOTE B UNQUOTE COVERING QUOTE USA MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT UNQUOTE.BY WAY OF ILLUSTRATING THE MAGNITUDE-OF THE 2 000949 �"aasamm Document divulgue en vertu de la Loisur l'acces a /'information PAGgVO 951 2h PROBLEM, RUTTER SAID THAT DURING MAY AND JUN THERE WOULD BE THIRTY LOGISTIC LFIGHTS EACH MONTH.WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR CLARIFICATION ON THIS POINT. 3. A FURTHER POINT OF CLARIFICATION NOT RPT NOT RAISED AT THE MEETING BUT WHICH MIGHT WELL ARISE,IS THE FOLLOWING.WOULD MINISTERS BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER AS SPECIAL CASES REQUESTS.FOR LOGISTIC OVERFLIGHTS. 3 INVOLVING USN AIRCRAFT?Y OU WILL RECALL IT WAS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REQUEST OF MAR4 WHICH WE ARE PREPARED TO TREAT AS A QUOTE SPECIAL CASE UNQUOTE INVOLVED QUOTE MILITARY AIR TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT UNDER USAF CONTROL UNQUOTE. 4. WILLOUGHBY ALSO RAISED THE QUESTION OF PROCEDURE WHICH WE ENVISAGED WOULD BE FOLLOWED IN IMPLEMENTING ANY UNDERSTANDING. HE RECALLED THAT WHEN SCHEDULE QUOTE B UNQUOTE HAD FIRST BEEN PROMULGATED IN 1952 THE CDN GOVT HAD COMMUNICATED ITS TEXT TO USA GOVT UNDER COVER OF A LET.HE ASSUMED WE WOULD DO THE SAME AGAIN,INCLUDING IN OUR LET THE POINTS MADE IN PARAS OF YOUR REFLET.OUR OWN RECORDS UNFORTUNATELY DO. E* . NOT RPT NOT INDICATE WHAT PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED IN 1952. 5.ONE FURTHER POINT TOUCHED UPON WAS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT PRESENT CATEGORY QUOTE X UNQUOTE FLIGHTS WOULD Bi. INCORPORATED IN SCHEDULE QUOTE A UNQUOTE.FOR OUR INFO WOULD THIS BE BY WAY OF AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE QUOTE A UNQUOTE OR COULD CATEGORY QUOTE X UNQUOTE FLIGHTS BE KONSIDERED TO FALL UNDER EXISTING CATEGORIES UNDER SCHEDULE QUOTE A UNQUOTE?
