The draft telegram attached to your letter 50290-40 of 14 April was referred to the Chief of the Air Staff, who has replied that it is satisfactory from the Air Force point of view. Referring to para. 2 in the draft, however, there is some doubt concerning the propriety of the French representative at the Air Security Centre in Berlin consulting with United Kingdom and United States colleagues to determine whether any useful purpose would be served in informing the Soviet representative that the interceptors were Canadian aircraft. 2. As far as can be determined, the dir Security Centre is in the nature of a technical or administrative agency of the Allied Kommandatura, whose principal concern is the regulating and control of air traffic in the Berlin area and in the corridors approaching Berlin. It would be preferable in any event that an agreed answer, prepared by responsible authorities of the French and U.S. Governments, should be forwarded to the French Representative at the Air Security Centre.
