Dear Mr. Robertson: I refer to your letter of 23 August and enclosures concerning notification to the German authorities of the conclusion of the Canada-U. S. Agreement concerning nuclear weapons for the Canadian F o r c e s . As far a s this Department is concerned, there is no objection ia principle to answering the questions raised by State Secretary Lahr. However, with regard to the proposed r e p l i e s , it is suggested that tike replies to the first and second questions might be made more specific, as follows: (a) With regard t o question of additional f a c i l i t i e s , the NATO infrastructure programme, under which storage facilities for nuclear warheads in Germany are t o be provided, has taken into account the Canadian requirements for the supply of warheads for Canadian Forces in Germany. As a result, storage sites already programmed will be adequate to meet Canadian needs and no additional storage facilities will be necessary. (b) No arrangements have been made for the storage of special weapons in France, and pending the e s t a b lishment of such agreements or alternative arrangements, present planning provides for all RCAF Quick Reaction Alert aircraft to stand alert on the two b a s e s la Germany but within the limits imposed by the Quick Reaction Alert and Special Ammunition Storage facilities now being built. We are aot aware of any plan t o increase the s l e e of these facilities which are being provided by Infrastructure funds. With regard t o para. 2 in your suggested reply, it is noted from Telegram 619 dated 10 September from Bonn that the United States Embassy in Bonn will be consulting with our Ambassador there before the reply i s given to the Germans. Yours sincerely. ( F . R . Miller) Air Chief Marshal, C3 Chairman, Chiefs of Staff? Me. N . A .
