SECRET Oi/ Dear Ross, >A 0~ J This is a very brief reply to your lettei about bilateral stockpile agreements. I was not able to arrange a conversation with Air Marshal MacBrien until today because he was away on leave. However, I had a good talk with him this afternoon, in the course of which I put questions (a) and (b) on page 4 of your letter. The answers were as you predicted. As Air Marshal MacBrien described the system, there are in fact three sorts of agreement, the agreement to acquire information, which is necessary in order to permit troop training} the stockpile agreement, which in Canada's case would have to be a "third party" agreement since Canada, Germany and the United States would be involved; and the service-to-service agreement covering technical and administrative aspects. Of the NATO countries with nuclear delivery systems, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have now signed all three agreements. Belgium, Italy and Turkey form a second category. They still have to complete arrangements for the conclusion of the third, or service-to-service agreement. MacBrien*s information is that the difficulties in all three cases are small and should be resolved fairly shortly. Canada is in a class by itself, in that we have signed only the first agreement, that is the general agreement which was concluded in May, 1959, and which pennits us to obtain information necessary for troop training. MacBrien had a number of other interesting things to say, but if I am to pass them on to you, I am afraid it will have to wait until later if this letter is to g© in today's bag.
