EXTRACT NO. 2 r e BOMARC

TOP. SECRET

EXTRACTS FROM THE RECORD OF THE MEETING OF CONSULTATION
BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CANADIAN AND U.S.
GOVERNMENTS HELD ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1958, In
THE STATE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON
Problems Connected with the Acquisition and Control
of Nuclear Weapons in Canada
1)

"General Foulkes opened the discussion of this subject
by referring to the various types of nuclear weapons
which are required by the Canadian forces, including
in particular the requirement for nuclear warheads for
the Lacrosse Guided Missile for use by the Canadian
Brigade in Germany and for BOMARC Missiles for use by
the RCAF.
He also referred to the future need for
air-to-air and anti-submarine nuclear weapons. He
said we were hopeful that procedures similar to those
being worked out in NATO for storing nuclear weapons
in Europe could be applied in North America."

2)

"General Twining then made a specific reference to the
relationship between the subjects which had been
already discussed and the storage of MB-1 nuclear
weapons in Canada on behalf of the USA. General Foulkes
said he thought we would be ready to go ahead with this
as soon as we were in a position to say publicly that
arrangements were also underway for the similar storage
of nuclear weapons for Canadian use. He said that he
understood from General Partridge that this would meet
the USA requirements. General Twining confirmed this.
"Mr. Merchant referring to the earlier part of the
discussion then asked whether the intergovernmental
agreement to which General Foulkes had referred, on
transfer and custody of nuclear weapons, had been
arrived at first or whether he envisaged concurrent
agreement on this exchange of.notes and on the
technical details to be worked out between appropriate
commanders.
General Foulkes assured him that the
general cover agreement could be concluded in advance
of the technical agreement and that we would be
prepared to go ahead with storage of the MB-1 in
Canada without waiting for agreement on the technical
annex."
