j^^z^^^^
The present agreement comprises, in/addition to y
,
a statement of principles, schedules governing each of the y^M^^
different kinds bf warheads. Mr. Harkness, iii his Memo' I
randum to the Cabinet, conceives the negotiation of
principles in a general agreement as a "preliminary step
whieh must be concluded before negotiations/of subsequent
agreements for the various warheads can be entered into.,l!
If the Cabinet is to see the full implications of the
decisions it will be required to take, it *#ill be necessary
to negotiate, as a package, the statement bf principles
and the schedules governing the practical/application of
the principles in respect of each type of/ warhead. To
separate the negotiation of principles from the negotiation
of arrangements f^r, eaph^igdof warhead^would not meet
this requirement^!! ^dm^e^en&ive agreement would provide
not only a clear statement of the framework under which
nuclear warheads would be made available for use by
Canadian forces but would, through its schedules, provide
all the necessary information to enable the Cabinet to
take a decision regarding the provision of warheads for
various weapons systems; it would avoid misunderstandings
between the United States and Canada; and it would provide
a surer basis for cooperation in training and other preliminary arrangements. To achieve these purposes the
present draft agreement would require to be redrawn.
Requirements of a New Draft Agreement
The premise of such a redraft would be that
nuclear warheads would be brought into Canada only on
a finding by Cabinet that an emergency exists and a
concomitant request to the United States Government to
provide the warheads. In brief,the agreement would make
certain provisions for the period when the warheads earmarked for Canadian forces would be stored on United States
territory, e.g. it would:
(a) outline the circumstances in whieh the Canadian
Government would be prepared to consider requesting transport of the nuclear warheads to
Canada;
• . • H"
002433
�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a Vinformation
- 5 aircraft) should be the subject of a separate agreement.
This will entail a negotiation, not only with the United
States governing the provision of warheads, but also with
the NATO Supreme Commander, Europe and/or the host country
in respect of storage arrangements.
ffrqeedure
For the purpose of drafting the requisite'agreement or agreements for consideration by the Cabinet it
would .be desirable to establish an inter-departmental
group comprising officials of the Departments of External
Affairs and National Defenee and of other departments as
necessary.
Mr. Harkness has suggested that he and I go to
Washington to start the negotiations to ensure proper
understanding by both sides. I think this would attract
undue attention.. In my view it would be more appropriate
to initiate the negotiating process by my calling in the
head of the United States Embassy in Ottawa and presenting
to him a Memorandum setting out the conditions under which
the Canadian Government would be prepared,to negotiate
for the provision of nuclear warheads for Canadian forces
in Europe and in North America. A copy of the draft
agreements, which by then would, have.been approved by
the Cabinet, would be attached to the Memorandum. To
facilitate closer supervision of the negotiations, which
I would, envisage being conducted by a mixed group of
officials and service representatives from both countries,
I would recommend that negotiations take place in Ottawa.•
In respect of forces in Europe it may be necessary to
conduct some aspects of the negotiations there.
Storage for United, States Forces ia- North America
As yo\ know there are also\ outstanding United
States requests T*Q store nuclear weappns in Canada for
the use ofs
(a) United Stages Air Force intercNyptors stationed
at Goose BaySand Harmon in Newfoundland;
. #6.

�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information
- 6-
(b) Strategic Air Command bombers whieh might
use GooSe Bay in the event of hostilities;
(c) The United States Navy*at Argentia, Newfoundland.
The Cabinet has approved in principle the
storage of nuelear air-to-air defensive weapons at Goose
Bay and Harmon. In December i960 Cabinet decided that "*
an Exchange of NotesV which had been negotiated with the
United States and whieh Cabinet had already approved,
"should not be concluded until after discussions with
the United States on other matters had been concluded",
that is, until the positions with respect to the pro-,
vision of warheads for \he use of Canadian forces had
been resolfed. The United States authorities were informed of this decision at the January 1961 meeting of
the PJBD. Apart from service-to-service exploratory
discussions.authorized by\the Cabinet in 1958, there
have been no negotiations ton the storage of warheads at
Goose Bay for the Strategie Air Command. In joint
ministerial discussions in\L959 Canadian Ministers expressed the view that storage for SAC in Canada would
present great difficulties politically and made it clear
that no decision would be taken at that time. There
have been no formal negotiat\ons on the storage of antisubmarine' warfare nuelear weapons at Argentia.- The
question was discussed in a general way at joint ministerial meetings in 1959 and i960,
'"
\
From references whiek there have been from *
time to time on these matters,kt seems clear that the
United States still considers tmese requests*to be outstanding. At some stage we sham no doubt be faced with
a request for clarification of okr intentions regarding
them, I assume that the Cabinet lecision of December o,
i960, to hold in abeyance the request for storage at
Goose Bay and Harmon would continue^to apply, in effect,
to the three requests for storage G£ warheads in Canada
for use by United States forces, pending completion of
negotiations on the provision of warheads for Canadian
forces.

S E C R E T
DRAFT NOTE FROM THE CANADIAN AMBASSADOR TO THE
UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF STATE
Sir:
I have the honour to refer to the Exchange
of Notes of June 30, 1959 which constituted an
agreement between our two Governments on the conditions under which United States interceptor aircraft
under the operational control of NORAD are
authorized to carry nuclear air-to-air defence
weapons over Canada.
This Agreement which has been
renewed annually will expire unless extended until
June 30, 1962.
I have been instructed to inform you that
the Canadian Government has reviewed the terms of
the agreement and would be agreeable to have it
continue in force, subject to one amendment, for a
further period of one year, i.e., until June 30, 1963*
My Government suggests that the term "Air Defence
Readiness" in your Note be altered to "Defence
Condition 1 (DEFCON 1 )" in order to conform with
NORAD's current terminology for this state of the
Command's readiness.
If the foregoing is agreeable to your
Government I propose that this Note and your reply
thereto should constitute an agreement between our
two Governments to amend and extend the Exchange of
Notes of June 30, 1959 accordingly.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my
highest consideration.

CONFIDENTIAL
Shooti!!g_dovm
of R.A.F.
Lincoln
Bomber
On 13th March an R.A.F. Lincoln Bomber was attacked
and shot
down by Soviet fighter
aircraft.
It fell in the Hamburg Berlin
air corridor
near the zonal frontier.
There were two other
incidents
within 12 hours and as a result
the United Kingdom
High Commissioner in Wahnerheide was instructed
to make two protests
in the strongest
terms.
2.
In reply the Soviet representative,
General Chuikov challenged
the truth of tho United Kingdom's contentions.
It seems from
subsequent
investigations
on the spot, in which tho Soviet authorities
have been helpfully
co-operative,
that tho bomber had lost its way and
had been some di stance over the Soviet zone~ The Soviet au thoPi ties
furthermore
have requested
that a joint conference
be called
to
consider
revising
tho existing
rules of flight
to prevent such
incidents
reoccurring.
3a
Tho Soviet letter
appears more conciliatory
.than might have
been expected and their offer is to be accepted.
The Soviet
authorities
have previously
alleged
that they never formally
accepted
11
the present
"flight
rules • 'rho Uni tod Kingdom c.onsidcr it important
not to convoy any indication
that in agreeing
to the Soviet request
in principle
they aro propar-ed to concede anything on the present
rules.
Particular
attention
will therefore
bo paid to tho wording
of tho United Kingdom reply and tho agenda for the meeting.
4.
Tho French and United States
representatives
in Berlin associated
their Governments with the United Kingdom protest
and are being kept
fully informed a The talks will in the first
instance
be bi.parti to 9
but in the event of preliminary
agreement to amend the quadripartite
flight
rules~ the talks vrould need to pr-oceod quadi->iparti tely.
5.
Tho United Kingdom Government welcome this move together
with
tho latost
Soviet offor over British
civilian
internees
in North
Ko~ea and General Chuikov's
on tho spot instructions
to speed up the
passage of traffic
thr-ough the Soviet checkpoint
on the United States
"autobahn"
into BePlin, but they do not consider
that they rcprer3ont
sufficient
indicstion
as yet of any change in Soviet policy.

MEMORANDUM TO FILE
Gold Telephone Network
On June 11, 1965 I forwarded a memorandum
to Mr. R.G. Robertson concerning the general
administration of the Prime Minister;’s residence
and the Herridge Cottage. In para. 4 of the
memo I advised Mr. Robertson that a ’’gold” telephone on the DND net was to be installed at the
Prime Minister’s residence (summer) and to be
located in a clothes closet in the Prime Minister’s
bedroom.
This memorandum is to bring the gold telephone network file in the Privy Council Office
up to date as the memorandum of June 11th is no
doubt filed on the summer residence file in the
PCO Registry.

CANADA-UNITED STATES COMMITTEE ON JOINT DEFENCE
CONTINENTAL AIR DEFENCE
Attached as Appendix "A" to this brief is
a general review of the current status of CanadaUnited States air defence arrangements. Appendix
"B" is the current agreed intelligence estimate of
the Soviet threat to North America.
In the discussion on this item, Ministers
may wish to deal specifically with the following
points:
1.
REPLACEMENT OF THE CF-100
(Section 4 of Appendix "A" refers)
Ministers may wish to discuss this matter
with the United States representatives in the light
of current consideration of the matter in Cabinet.
2.
CONTINUOUS AIRBORNE ALERT
(Section 5 of Appendix "A" refers)
The 1960-61 United States defence budget
provides funds for procurement of stocks of spare
parts so that the United States Air Force could
institute a continuous airborne alert should one
be ordered by the President.
What plans do the
United States authorities have to implement such
an alert?
Would the Canadian Government be con-
sulted if such action were contemplated, and would
it involve more extensive use of Canadian air space?
3.
EXERCISE SKY SHIELD
(Section 6 of Appendix "A" refers)
Ministers may wish to review with their
United States colleagues the current status of the
arrangements for this Exercise.

COST-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE CONTINENTAL AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM
(Section 3 of Appendix "A" refers)
The drafting of this agreement has been
largely completed but final action (including submission of the final draft to Cabinet) has been
deferred pending settlement of the BOMARC issue in
the United States.
It now appears probable that
Congress will approve the BOMARC programme in August.
It is suggested that irrespective of whether this
item comes up for discussion with the United States
representatives, we should now take the necessary
steps to be in a position to conclude the agreement
as soon as the BOMARC programme is approved.

APPENDIX "A"
S E C R E T
CONTINENTAL AIR DEFENCE
At the Camp David meeting of the Committee,
there was some discussion of the nature of the military threat to North America and of certain measures
being taken or under consideration to meet it. Since
November, certain developments have taken place of
importance to Canada. This paper sets out the background of the principal questions which are likely
to arise under this item.
1.
CONCEPT OF AIR DEFENCE
The Concept of Air Defence of North America
must be based on national policy; be consistent with
national strategy, be designed to meet the threat
during the years ahead and be feasible of attainment
within the resources of Canada and the United States.
Since the end of the last war, intensive
planning, evaluation and development has been going
on in order to improve our air defence capability.
The main criteria are that the air defence forces
should be trained, deployed and equipped in peacetime to provide:
(a) defence in depth;
(b) an efficient control system for command
and weapons engagement;
(c) flexibility to meet the enemy's changing
tactics.
Defence in depth is achieved through the
combination of all our defensive weapons; providing
early warning and interception and allowing our
deterrent forces to carry out their missions.

SECRET
The control system for weapons engagement
is related directly to our early warning and control
radar systems now in being and the approved SAGE
systems now being constructed in the United States
and Canada.
Flexibility of the system is achieved
through the complementary weapons of supersonic
aircraft and surface-to-air missiles, with the
interceptor providing positive armed identification
and fire power and the missile providing high attrition against the raid as it comes into range.
Thus, briefly stated, overall air defence
is achieved through a combination of four complementary factors:
(a) Early warning radar systems;
(b) Control of weapons;
(c) Surface-to-air missiles;
(d) Supersonic aircraft.
In this connection, the radar warning systems
have been in operation for some time and are being added
to or modified as conditions warrant. The control of
the missile/aircraft weapons will be achieved when the
approved SAGE system now under construction comes into
being. Depending upon Congressional approval of the
BOMARC B programme, missiles will be procured and
Canadian planning for the missile sites at North Bay
and La Macaza will be implemented.
Only the intro-
duction of a supersonic aircraft into the system is
required to complete the Canadian portion of the Air
Defence force.
2.
FUTURE OF THE BOMARC
Last March the United States Department of
Defense proposed to Congress some substantial revi..... 3 000538

sions to the so-called Master Air Defence programme.
Of particular interest to Canada was the proposed
reduction of the planned expenditure for the fiscal
year 1961 on the BOMARC programme from #421.5 million
to $40.4 million and the reduction in the proposed
number of BOMARC sites from eighteen to ten. The two
Canadian sites which Canada has agreed to were included
in this new figure. The revised proposals also called
for the elimination of the Super Combat Centre programme,
one of which had been planned for Canada.
In the case
of Canada, the RCAF would acquire instead a SAGE Direction Centre (FSQ/7) of the type being installed at
various locations in the north eastern part of the
United States.
On April 27 the Committee on Appropriations
of the United States House of Representatives and
later the House eliminated all financing of the
BOMARC, including funds previously approved for the
fiscal year I960.
On May IS, the United States Air Force resubmitted its proposals to the Senate Appropriations
Committee and on June S this Committee and later the
Senate voted sufficient funds for ten BOMARC sites
(including the two in Canada) and $75 million for
two additional sites on the West Coast of the United
States. A joint conference held between representatives of the Senate and the House in an effort to
reach a compromise resulted in Congress voting $244
million for the BOMARC programme.
This is approxi-
mately $125 million less than the Senate voted and
$50 million less than the USAF requested.
This amount,
however, will be sufficient for some seven sites in
the North Eastern United States and two in Canada.
�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a {'information
- 4 -
SECRET
With regard to the two Canadian sites, a
contract for $3 million has already been let for
the construction of the site at North Bay, of which
approximately $430,000 has been spent.
Work has
not yet begun on the second site at La Macaza.
Work will continue on the SAGE site as SAGE is not
only designed to control BOMARC's and manned interceptors but would also be useful for identifying
and tracking hostile and friendly aircraft.
3.
COST-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE CONTINENTAL AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM .
As a consequence of the Government's
decision to acquire two squadrons of BOMARC B's,
to introduce SAGE, and to reinforce the PINETREE
warning system with seven heavy radars and fortyfive gap fillers, negotiations were begun last fall
aiming at the conclusion of an Exchange of Notes
setting out the cost-sharing arrangements concerning
which understandings had previously been reached. .
These negotiations have resulted in a final draft
of the Exchange of Notes being agreed to but the
United States authorities have concurred in the
suggestion that the execution of the Notes be
delayed until the future of the BOMARC is clearer.
No problems of a substantive nature requiring
Ministerial resolution were encountered in reaching
agreement on this final draft.
The proposed Exchange of Notes as it stands
provides that the cost of the initial construction
and equipment will be shared in the ratio of onethird (Canada) and two-thirds (United States) and
that this will be achieved by Canada assuming the
5

SECRET
full financial responsibility for all initial
construction and the United"~States assuming full
financial responsibility for all initial technical
equipment.
Every effort will be made to ensure
that Canadian industry is given a full and reasonable opportunity to share in the production of
the required technical equipment and all the new
facilities will be manned by Canadian personnel.
4.
REPLACEMENT OF CF-lOQ's IN CANADA
At Camp David Mr. McElroy, the then United
States Secretary of Defense, in the course of a brief
discussion of this question, said that the United
States authorities had been very sensitive to the
difficulties which the Canadian Government had faced
in cancelling the CF-105 and did not wish"to appear
to be pressing a new aircraft. However, the United
States Government would be glad to discuss the acquisition of a new aircraft if the Canadian Government
were interested. Mr. Pearkes said that the matter
had been discussed between the Services with particular reference to numbers, price and availability,
and hoped these discussions would continue.
No
commitment was made as to what course the Government
would follow in this matter.
In this connection the reciprocal arrangement recently proposed by the United States Air Force
under which the RCAF might obtain a number of interceptors in the United States and the United States
Military Air Transport Service a number of CL-44's
from Canadair, Montreal, and which has been given
preliminary consideration by Ministers, is now the
subject of exploratory discussions between the two

Governments.
SECRET
The production sharing implications
of this arrangement are noted in the brief prepared
for Item 7 of the Agenda.
5.
NORAD AND THE THREAT TO NORTH AMERICA
Any change in the nature of the threat to
North America is a matter of serious concern to both
Governments because of its implication for the air
defence system and for the effective preservation of
the retaliatory strike force.
The attached summary
of an agreed Canada-United States intelligence assessment of the Soviet threat to North America indicates
that the bomber threat will continue throughout the
1960's.
Canadian and United States intelligence
authorities, however, are not wholly in agreement on
the extent of its duration and the rate at which it
will diminish in strength in relation to the missile
threat.
They are, however, agreed that the threat .
from long-range aircraft will be significant for most
of the decade. Thus NORAD will have a primary r61e
to play in air defence for some time to come. It
would be useful to know in this regard the thinking
of the United States authorities with regard to longrange plans for improvement or new projects beyond
those under consideration and which will require the
eventual participation of Canada.
As a partner in NORAD, the Canadian Government attaches importance to the various arrangements
entered into (such as the MB-1 Agreement and the
Agreement regarding NORAD's states of readiness) or
under consideration (such as storage of air-to-air
weapons at Goose and Harmon) whereby its joint responsibility for NORAD is exercised.
Generally
speaking, the Canadian Government is satisfied with
000542
�Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a {'information
SECRET
- 7 -
the working of the Command.and with present arrangements for consultation" on NORAD matters.
United States military thinking, in the
belief that a fully effective air defence system
can never be achieved and that the best that can
be obtained is limited by budgetary considerations,
increasingly stresses the deterrent.
Although
Canada's contribution to the deterrent forces based
in North America is in the form of air defence, Canada
also provides air space for Strategic Air Command
exercises and practice airborne alerts.
It has also
agreed to permit the establishment in Canada of four
aerial refuelling bases.
It v/ould be useful to know
whether, apart from the request for the storage of
nuclear weapons for SAC at Goose Bay, the United
States authorities are likely to seek Canadian
approval for any further measures. The United
States defence budget for the fiscal year 1960-61
will give the United States Air Force additional
funds for the implementation of a continuous airborne alert, should one be ordered by the President.
What plans do the United States authorities have to
implement such an alert?
Will the Canadian Govern-
ment be consulted and will such an alert involve
more extensive use of Canadian air space?
These questions are of some importance
to Canada in view of the agreement covering four
aerial refuelling bases in Canada (at Frobisher,
Fort Churchill, Cold Lake and Namao), construction
of which is nearing completion.

Defence last November, an Aide Memoire was handed to
the State Department regarding the Canadian Government's understanding of the terms and conditions
under which Exercise SKY HAWK might be re-scheduled.
This Aide Memoire read as follows:
"The Canadian Chiefs of Staff Committee and
the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff may
authorize CINC NORAD to commence preliminary
planning for the next exercise forthwith.
"When the broad framework of the exercise has
been completed, the Chiefs of Staff of both
countries will be briefed on the general
outline of the exercise and they in turn
will take appropriate action to inform their
respective Governments on the nature of.the
proposed exercise.
"Early in the new year, i.e. April or May,
the two Governments will again review
the situation and each will then decide
whether the exercise is to go forward and
will in that event consider the nature of
any public announcement to be made.
"If it is decided to proceed, further consultation will take place, presumably some
time in July or August, to set a precise
date; it being understood that the exercise
would take place within the period agreed
unless there was a very serious situation
which in the view of either Government
warranted the cancellation or postponement
of the exercise. Such a decision to postpone or cancel could be taken at any time
but would, of Course, only be taken at the
highest level."
On April 26 the Cabinet was informed of
the progress made to date on the planning of the
large-scale exercise proposed for this year, Exercise SKY SHIELD, and approved the transmission of
the following Aide Memoire to the State Department:
"The Canadian Government has reviewed the scope
and extent of the proposed air defence exercise
SKY SHIELD. The Canadian Government agrees to
the continuation of the planning for the exercise but wishes to defer until June a decision
on the exercise itself, with no public announcement until that time. The Canadian Government
hopes that this position will be acceptable to
the United States. In the meantime, the details
of the exercise should remain secret.

"The Canadian Government plans to have the
Minister of National Defence discuss in
general terms at an early meeting of the
newly established Parliamentary Committee
on Defence the requirement to exercise the
air defence forces. This discussion would
assist in preparing public opinion here to
accept the need for large-scale exercises
involving electronic counter measures."
On June 15 the Cabinet agreed that this
Exercise might be held and subsequently the State Department was so informed.
On June 24 the Minister
of National Defence, during the course of a meeting
of the House Committee on Defence Expenditures, made
a brief reference to the need to hold a large exercise to test the air defences of North America.
Provided there is no development of such
significance as to warrant either Government to
withdraw its approval, the Exercise will likely be
held in September.
It is expected that an appropriate public
announcement approved by the two Governments will
be issued by NORAD on July 12. The civil air car-,
riers are being informed in sufficient time to
permit them to re-schedule any of their flights
which may be affected.
In so far as Canada is
concerned, it is estimated that some fifty-one
scheduled domestic flights and thirteen foreign
scheduled flights would be affected.
It is con-
templated that the precise date of the Exercise
will also be announced in advance.
