Dear Dana, Rt'DUJT k SECRET Recently we received a proposal from London, suggesting that the United Kingdom and Canadian Governments might make a joint approach to the United States Government on certain questions relating to the employment of nuclear weapons. In particular, the United Kingdom expressed some doubts as to whether a clear distinction could be drawn between small and precise nuclear weapons on the one hand and the larger nuclear weapons, on the other. Copy of the U.K. draft paper, contained in telegram 537 of April 18 from the High Commissioner in London with the Minister's comments on it, is attached. A paper examining the British views has been prepared in the Department. This departmental paper was included among the briefs prepared for the Minister in connection with the NATO conferences next week but we have not yet received his views on it. A copy of this departmental memorandum is enclosed, and any comments which you would care to make on it would, of course, be welcome. Yours sincerely, T .\/ R A.
