CANADA ^y Escott Reid, Esq., *y Acting Under-Secretary of Stat for External Affairs, O T T A W A . '*22 October 194$ SXTo C ^ %y ; AFFAIRS <y Dear Mr. Reid: I beg to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your letter of the 12th instant with its enclosure of memorandum prepared by the Military Attache at the Canadian Embassy, Paris, relating to the request made to Eldorado by the Institute of Nuclear Research, University of Strasbourg. I am suggesting to Eldorado that its price list be forwarded to Dr. Gorodetzky and suggesting also that similar information be furnished to the other enquirers in Western Europe. I am also asking Eldorado to let me have a copy of the price list for forwarding for transmission to the Military Attache and to let me know the date on which the document was forwarded to each of these European enquirers. I should perhaps say that the references in the Military Attache's memorandum to ounces and tons of the material indicate^ some misunderstanding as to the materials involved. Ordinarily radium, polonium, radium "D", etc., are dealt with in quantities measured in milligrams, or at most, a very few grams. Referring to your letter of 27 September last, and particularly to the relation of these radioactive materials to the current discussion of the joint export program proposed by the United States, I think that they will undoubtedly be discussed and possibly some lines laid down , but I understand 000154 2 3 ,/d.z th) �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information %0 s c o t t Reid, Esq. ,2 from informal conversations with U.S. representatives, that they would not be disturbed by shipments of any quantity that would ordinarily be made for medical or even university research purposes.
