As discussed with you, Bill Barton has proposed that when we are agreed on this draft, Freeman Tovell will prepare the following additional schedules: (a) BOMARC air defence weapons (b) Honest John rockets for the Canadian Brigade in Europe (c) Nuclear weapons for Canadian Maritime Forces, RCN & RCAF. This may need to be in two schedules, one covering the forces to be employed with SACLANT, the other covering Canadian Maritime Forces on the West Coast. It is understood that a schedule covering air defence weapons other than BOMARC will be prepared at the appropriate time. 8 I have the following comments to make on the attached draft: (a) In para 4,special ammunition storage sites and quick reaction alert areas should be specified in accordance with established criteria. These criteria are contained in SBAPE document AG 6160/E-100/59 LOG. The 8A3 areas are type "C". The QRAs are defined in Annex 11A of the referenced document. (b) The points made in para 5 and the numbers of personnel required (see para 3} are covered in SHAPE document 128/59, Plan for the NATO Special Ammunition Storage Programme. Again, therefore, reference to the relevant SHAPE document would save unnecessary and perhaps inaccurate wording. (c) External Affairs suggest we should define "Canadian area of responsibility". I suggest that in lieu of this phrase throughout the paper we use the expression "Canadian base area". (d) External Affairs in para 10 have left in the paper rather more description of the conditions which might influence authorization than I had anticipated, This will probably still be objectionable to the fChairman. (e) I believe that para 16 requires more critical examination than I have had time to give it. in so far as the communications requirements are concerned. ../2 A201600064 CSC 1888:9 Pt. 2 / �A201600064 CSC 1888:9 Pt. 2 - 2 - SECRET 3 You will note that the preamble to the schedule is a useful addition and provides some flexibility. You will note also that para 40 may be of some assistance in this respect. Under these circumstances probably the content of the schedule could be further reduced and simplified. 4 As reported to you by telephone, Barton suggested last week that we should get this agreement in the hands of other departments,particularly Finance,for critical comment as soon as possible. I informed him that we would wish to proceed a step at a time, that the first step would be to get agreement between External Affairs and ourselves at CCOS level on this draft agreement. $e could then consider whether or when it would be appropriate to consult other government departments or agencies. My hope was, of course, that the road block would have been cleared before this. 5 W/C Henderson, RCAF Member of the JSiTC is, of course, available to Lt Cmdr Donaldson to assist as required on these papers. In addition, G/C Gillespie will be back from Europe early next week and could probably give you some help if you need it in my absence.
