MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HALLIDAY:

Cabinet Conclusion; Prime Minister's Report on
discussions with President Kennedy; Nuclear Weapons
—"•*'" "
I have checked your draft letter to Mr. Green
(and the Conclusion on which it is based) with the
reports I have seen by Mr. Heeney and Mr. Robinson
on the Washington discussion. Mr, Robinson's record
of what the Prime Minister told him of the discussion
is to the effect that no agreements would be signed
while disarmament was T)emg pressed forward, but
XnepreTiminary negotiations would be completedso
BnerTliouIdnBTTIonaoT^
Conclusion says that so long as serious disarmament
negotiations continued, Canada would not determine
whether or not to accept nuclear weapons f or J^pjaarjc
bases or Canadian interceptors, and that no one
agreement would be signed before the others had been
worked out, but does not explicitly link the condition
about disarmament negotiations to the conclusion of
the agreements under which nuclear weapons would be
stored at US bases in Canada; The effect of the two
records may be the same, but I wonder if it would not be
clearer if the fifth and sixth sentences of the
Conclusion were revised to read:

"He had further stated that Canada would
be prepared to work out the terms under
which nuclear weapons might be
accepted for the Bomarc bases and for
Canadian interceptors; Canada would
require joint custody and joint control
of these weapons and use would be
determined in the same manner as on US
bases. Negotiations for all the necessary •

agreements should now continue on
the basis of a "package deal"., but
they would not be signed as long as
serious disarmament negotiations
continued, and no one agreement
would be signed before the others
had been worked out."
You will notice that Mr. Bryce asked

you to include in the draft letter a statement
l/y&lt;

that it was his understanding that negotiations
v«K on this basis would proceed forthwith.
