MEMORANDUM FOR THE MINISTER

mm

Departmental Paper on the Nuclear Deterrent
At the meeting in your office on July 8,
at which we discussed various aspects of the projected
reassessment of national security policy, you mentioned
that you would like to see the Departmental memorandum
on the nuclear deterrent revised. A revision of the
memorandum has now been made in the light of the comments
received, and a copy is attached.
2.
You said that you had comments on the earlier
draft of this paper dated March 26. Before the revised
draft is put into shape for circulation to other Departments concerned, you might like to indicate what changes,
if any, you would like to have made in it. Perhaps you
would also let us know whether you "wish a copy prepared
for the Prime Minister.
