May 1959 Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs, Ottawa, Ontario. 1. I refer to your letter of 21 May 1959 concerning a statement on NORAD-NATO relationships. 2. - I believe that with minor amendmentsfthe statement pertaining t o Washington Telegram 1196 of 19 May would be a suitable explanation of the relationship. My suggested amended statement is attached. 3. With respect to your enquiry as to why this matter was raised by the US Department of Defence at this time, I.understand there is no particular significance in this. However in view of the controversy which was raised about this matter last year, the United States feel it would now be useful to have an agreed statement betvreen Canada and the United States which could be used in answering enquiries of this nature. (Sgd) Charles Foulkes (Charles Foulnes) General, Chairman, Chiefs of Staff. Encl. �"NORAD" is an integrated Canada-USA Air Defence Command established through bilateral agreement under Article 3 of the Charter to the North Atlantic Treaty within the Canada-USA region of the NATO area. It is not, strictly speaking, a NATO Command and the Canada-USA Regional Planning Group has no assigned forces. The military plans for the defence of the Canada-USA region are reported to NATO through the Canada-USA Regional Planning Group; this Group reports to the NATO Standing Group which in turn reports these defence plans to the NATO Military Committee. The Military Committee thereby keeps the North Atlantic Council informed of air defence arrangements in the Canada-USA region". � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
