It should discharge in a very satisfactory fashion the responsibility of the Standing Group and the Military Committee to provide military advice on this matter to the North Atlantic Council. 2. The fact remains that there are major political difficulties which the paper does little to solve. It does go a certain distance towards clarifying those difficulties. The most formidable problems relate to the political control of the MRBM force. 3. The agenda of MC/CS calls for "discussion" of this paper rather than for any more definite action. It is recommended that the Canadian position in this discussion should be based upon the following points: (a) Canada approves the paper and believes that it should go forward t l to the North Atlantic Council essentially in its present form. (b) The MC/CS cannot resolve the political problems involved in the political control of MRBMs, and there is no point in attempting to go further in this respect. (c) Regardless of the wider implications of the MRBM proposal there is a need to replace a portion of SACEUR's present strike forces with MRBMs^in order to increase the survivability of these forces and to guarantee the ability to penetrate. i*-\r.]?.
