2.
disposition on the part of the above governments to handle this matter
as a NATO problem, although some of the countries may wish to

3.

In the circumstances, we are inclined to favour this course
in our own case. The nature of our reply will, of course, depend
upon whether RCAF aircraft were involved. The question of whether
SACEUR need be consulted should, we think, depend upon whether his
assistance is required to complete the investigation. If so, we feel
that the initiative might, more appropriately, be taken by National
Defence.
