The Standing Group’s position* according to SOLO is that there is no objection to the Defence Ministers from all NATO countries attending a single exercise provided it is large enough to justify the event* but there does not appear to be such an exercise planned for the present year. It was agreed on the conclusion of the discussion* however, that the SGLO would take the matter up again with the Standing Croup. You will see that lord Ismay supported Mr. Wilgress’ view that it was desirable to have all Defence Ministers attend one exercise and the Netherlands Representative suggested that each country should restrict its representatives to three. I should be glad to communicate to Mr. Wilgress 3. any comments you may wish to make. I am sending copies of this enclosure to the L. Chairman, Chiefs cl Stafi, the Deputy Minister of National LeXe ce and the Secretary to the Cabinet, for their information. Yours sincerely. , The Honourable Brooke Claxton, Minister of National Defence, "A" Building, Ottawa. — R. A.
