However, Mr JJ McCardle and Mr WR Martin of External Affairs and the Privy Council Office, respectively, did take part in the Chiefs' discussions. 4 Because of the limited time at our disposal, we did not attempt to get from the United States further information concerning their proposals which might be useful in answering questions that may be raised in the Cabinet. 5 The representative of the Department of External Affairs asked particularly that it be noted that the attached papers reflect only the opinions of the Chiefs of Staff and that, since there are important political implications particularly with reference to the storage of. nuclear weapons at Goose Bay - the views of other government departments will be required before decisions are taken by the Cabinet.
