C , September 1 1 , 1958* Dear Ray: This letter refers to our conversation of August 29 during the course of which you requested me to seek the approval of the Canadian Government for a series of flights over Canadian territory by the Strategic Air Command daily from September 15, 1958, through December 15, 1958, in accordance with a schedule handed me at the time*. In considering the United States approach with respect to daily flights of SAC aircraft between September 15 and December 15* the Canadian authorities recognized that* for the desired, purposes of the exercise to be met successfully,., a detailed programme of flights over an extended period had to be planned. The United States authorities are aware* however, that it is the policy of the Canadian Government not to grant blanket clearances over an extended period for the overflight of Canada by SAC aircraft* In the circumstances, therefore, it is suggested that clearance be sought daily for the flights under consideration on a service to service basis, the RCAF, on the Canadian side, being responsible for obtaining ministerial clearance. While no obstacle can be foreseen at the moment to the provision of the required Canadian clearances, it will be recognized that circumstances might arise in the three months period which would necessitate further consideration by the Canadian Government of the desirability of particular over-flights. We understand that technical discussions on the exact procedure for daily clearance of the desired over-flights are continuing between the RCAP and the USAP. Yours sincerely, , Raymond P. Courtney, Office of Special Assistant for Atomic Energy Affairs, Department of State, Washington, D. C. S, P . Rae, Minister 000869 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
