KORANDUM FOR THE PRIME MINISTER; ' . '' • General Foulires tells me that Mr. Pearkes Informed him that you felt there should be something in our proposed exchange of notes with the United States , that would make clear that responsibility for the use of the nuclear weapons we obtain from the United States would be that of the Government of Canada. 7 Foulkes discussed briefly with me some words that might be added to paragraph 3 In section (b) of the.-' Annex to the draft note. On reflection I would suggest; that we should have a separate paragraph that would state approximately the following: , . "The use of the nuclear warheads covered by this agreement subsequent to their release in accordance with paragraph 3 will be the responsibility of the Government of Canada." It may be better to avoid the implication that we "will be controlling the-details of the use of these weapons by our forces under the NATO Commander in Europe. This, could be.avoided by the following: *Authorisati6n of the use by Canadian Forces of the nuclear warheads covered'by this Agreement subsequent \o their release in accordance with paragraph 3, will be the responsibility of the Government of Cqnada." ' y If either of these are included, it might perhaps be well in paragraph 3 to say that the "warheads will be released for use will vary, etc." This would , help to make clear that it is procedure for release that is the subject of agreement and the responsibility for use will remain with Canada.
