BARRETT SAID THAT STATE DEPT OFFICIALS AT WORKING LEVEL WOULD SEE ADVANTAGES INx (1) AND WOULD VERY MUCH WELCOME ANY PRELIMINARY COMMENTS YOU MAY HAVE ON THE SUGGESTED LANGUAGE SET FORTH BELOW. ONE OF THE DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED IN COURSE (2) WOULD BE THAT CINC NORAD'S TERMS OF REF COULD HARDLY BE REGARDED STRICTLY SPEAKING AS INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING ;IN ANY CASE^EACH GOVT SHALL RETAIN, FOR PURPOSES OF ITS OWN DEFENSE, THE FREEDOM TO TAKE MEASURES, AT HOME OR ABROAD, NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE SOVEREIGNTY OP THE OTHER. IN SUCH EVENT NATIONAL FORCES ENGAGED IN SELF-DEFENCE (INCLUDING NATIONAL ELEMENTS PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED TO NORAD) SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. TEXT ENDS. lj.. BARRETT ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THIS PARA BE RE- NUMBERED 8 WITH PRESENT PARA 8 BECOMING PARA 9. HE EMPHASIZED THAT THIS TEXT HAS SO FAR ONLY BEEN CONSIDERED AT THE WORKING LEVEL IN STATE DEPT.
