CHAIRMAN CHIEFS OF STAFF, OTTAWA. Acting Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs. Attention: D-I d 8 9 10 BEC 23 I95% Mr. M.H. Wershof —0 50415- G+(o 59 Dear Sir: NATO Exercises - Protest by Swedish Government - ---------------3 4 5 6 7 RESTRICTED I refer to your letter of 21 December on the above subject. I do not think it would be advisable to consult with SACLANT or SACEUR concerning the above protest except insofar as such consultation may be necessary to determine the facts concerning the alleged violation of Swedish territory. I do feel, however, that SACEUR should probably be advised that Canada and the other four governments involved have received notes from the Swedish Government protesting against the violation of their territory by NATO aircraft. Your suggestion that the matter be discussed among the Canadian Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Council and the representatives of the other four governments would therefore seem to be the proper way to go about this, since they could then advise SACEUR through NATO channels. The Chief of the Air Staff has been asked to ascertain if any RCAF aircraft were involved in the alleged violation of Swedish territory. As soon as we hear from him, I shall advise you further; however, as you intimate in your letter, it may be some time before he is able to determine whether or not RCAF aircraft were involved.
