Honourable Howard Green, Secretary of State for External Affairs, Ottawa. My dear Colleague: I refer to the Record of Decision of the Meeting of Cabinet on December 6, I960, in which it is stated, in part, that discussions (or "negotiations") with the U.S. Government concerning arrangements for the essential acquisition of nuclear weapons or warheads for use by the Canadian Forces, in the manners already decided, may proceed as soon as they can be usefully undertaken but the acceptance of joint controls to be a basic principle. In keeping with the above decision, I recommend that action be taken in the latter part of January 1961 to initiate negotiations along the lines of the enclosed draft agreement, which incorporates the features, including joint control, agreed upon in December 1959 by the Panel on the Economic Aspects of Defence Questions, It is realized that an agreement of this nature covers only the general principles governing the provision of stockpiles of nuclear weapons for the Canadian Forces and thus in itself will not entail the actual stockpiling of the weapons. Completion of this agreement,would, however, establish a basis' for negotiation of further detailed arrangements for provision of weapons as considered advisable. If you feel it would be useful I would be pleased to discuss this matter with you, possibly with senior officials in attendance as you may see fit. Yours sincerely, Original signed by Douglas S.
