Following statement by General Ridgway in response URTEL731 to Moscow, rptd Paris 4919, London 6260, Ottawa 189, Bonn 4627: •1. Following summarizes info presently available to me on reported interception of Soviet C-47 type aircraft by Canadian F-86 aircraft on 19 March, with source of info. 2. a. General Norstad reports to me that Soviet aircraft on previously authorized flight was approximately one hour and fifty minutes behind reported flight plans, that it was intercepted by two Canadton • F-86's acting in accordance with orders, that the "passes" I made by the 86's were identification, did.not rpt not in any way ' jeopardize the Soviet aircraft, that no rpt no warning shots were fired, no rapt no provocative action taken. b. General Norstad further reports that the Soviet pilot reported by radio to tower with which he was then working the presence of 86's and requested they be withdrawn. Pilot did not rapt not allege any improper action by 86's. c. 86's were withdrawn. 3. I consider this interception normal, proper and essential, if we are to minimize danger of hostile aircraft in this area. Any aircraft, US or foreign, as much behind schedule as this can expect to be intercepted for identification purposes. My own plane would be similarly intercepted, I hope, under like circumstances. 4. 4. I request Dept. of State be furnished foregoing info.n DILLON DULLES 000102 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
