—

t

CONJUNCTION WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE WHICH INDICATED OCCASIONS 7
s
ON WHICH DEFICIENCIES MIGHT BE EMPHASIZED.HOWEVER,HE WAS OF ZHE

OPINION THAT,EVEN THOUGH THE DOCUMENT WAS ONLY BEFORE COUNCIL TO I
s

3.THE FRENCH REP REFERRED TO RDC358-315, A PRESS RELEASE ON EXERCISE ndll &amp;al
SHIPSHAPE CIRCULATED UNDER DATE SEPS, AND,RELATING IT TO THE OVERALVaua
CONCEPT EXPRESSED IN MCI3/3,QUERIED THE NECESSITY FOR SUCH DETAIL vccos (

BEING COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC.FOR .EXAMPLE WAS IT OF ANY VALI
THE PUBLIC TO BE ACQUAINTED WITH THE DETAILED COMPOSITION OF TH

VARIOUS COMMANDS AND FORCES.SURELY THE PUBLIC’S MAIN INTEREST
WOULD BE CENTRED ON THE FACT THAT THE NAVIES OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

PARTICIPATED TOGETHER UNDER JOINT COMMAND.
4.1 REFERRED TO PARA14 ON POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND EXPRESSED THE

HOPE THAT,WHENEVER THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES SHOULD FEEL THAT AN

EXERCI E SHOULD BE REVIEWED BECAUSE OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS,THEY

SHOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SECRETARY-GENERAL.I THOUGHT IT DESIRABLE
THAT SUCH INFORMAL CONTACTS ON THIS ASPECT OF NATO EXERCISES SHOULD

BE MAINTAINED AND INCREASED.
5.THE SECRETARY-GENERAL SAID HE WOULD WRITE TO THE STANDING GROUP
MAKING THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS.
6.1 HOPE YOU WILL AGREE THAT,IN LIGHT OF YOUR RECENT CORRESPONDENCE,

POINTS MADE IN YOURTEL DLSSS AND IN YOURLET DL405 ARE ADEQUATELY
SAFEGUARDED.AS WE READ THE DOC,THE WHOLE OF IT IS INTENDED NOT

ONLY

AS IN INTRODUCTION OF A POLICY RELATING TO RELEASE OF INFO

BUT ALSO AS A GENERAL DIRECTIVE TO NATO COMMANDERSCV IDE

COMMENDATION(B)).WE BELIEVE THAT,IF NEW POLICY IS FAITHFULLY

IMPLEMENTED AND PROPOSAL MADE IS ACCEPTED BY STANDING GROUP,THE

7.UNDER OTHER BUSINESS SECGEN REPORTED BRIEFLY ON FLAMETIDE BUT

NO RPT NO REF WAS MADE TO CRESCENT HINGE.THIS WOULD SEEM TO SUGGEST
THAT MILITARY AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT RPT NOT YET CONCLUDED THAT
CARRYING OUT OF THE EXERCISE AS ORIGINALLY PLANNED WOULD HAVE UN-

DESIRABLE POLITICAL REPERCUSSIONS.
