RESTRICTED Dear Sir: Your letter of 2 October and mine of 3 October concerning difficulties recently experienced in our oceanic control areas in connection with NATO exercises appear to have crossed in the mails. To clarify a point upon -which there may be some misunderstanding, the difficulties do not arise from NATO operations conducted over Canada but rather from operations over the North Atlantic Ocean in airspace for which this department provides impartial air traffic control service to all operators in accordance with commitments to the International Civil Aviation Organization. This airspace extends westward from 30°W longitude and generally between the 43rd and 59th parallels of latitude. Since the Department of National Defence does not feel that they should be used as a channel of contact with NATO I had hoped that your department, through your ambassador to NATO, might make representation on our behalf with a view towards developing an early solution to the problem. I am not sure that the course of action indicated in your letter will result in the coordination with NATO, through effective channels, which we had hoped to achieve. I trust that you will reconsider the problem and can suggest an alternative course of action which is likely to produce the desired result. Yours sincerely, Q //2" ‘ //J. R.
