Rational .SecurIty. Policy.

As requested, I attach a letter to Mr. Campney
incorporating the Minister's revisions and enclosing
a copy of my paper.
•
2.
I venture to submit for the Minister1s
consideration an alternative draft letter to Mr.
Campney. The reasoning behind the alternative draft
is that, if we inform the Department of National Defence
that we propose to complete the study on national
security policy with the production of a succession
of papers which will be submitted to the Department
of National Defence for comments, this will almost
certainly have the effect:
(1) that the cooperation of the Department
of National Defence will be limited to
commenting on the papers prepared by the
Department of External Affairs;
(2) that the end product will not be the kind
of study of national security policy which
was envisaged, i.e. with the coordinated
consideration of political, economic as
well as military factors by the Departments
of Government concerned, and
(3) that it will not have the impact on national
security policy desired, since the study
would have been carried out without the

participation of the Department mainly
concerned in the implementation of
national security policy.
3.
I also attach copy No. 1 of my paper for
the Minister.
