Phas .Out. .of . fuelling Facilities Further to my memorandum of February 20 with reference to tomorrow’s inter-departmental meeting, have arranged to have briefings on the present situation at the four bases and future plans for Frobisher. The RCAF will be prepared to brief the meeting on USAF strength (men, aircraft, etc.) at all the bases, and construction programmes, civilian employee situation and the state of contracts including termination arrangements at Namao and Cold Lake. The RCAF will coordinate with the Canadian Army and the latter's representative will be in a position to brief the meeting on similar details as they a ply to Fort Churchill. Similarly, the Department of Transport will be prepared to brief the meeting on the physical 4 layout at Frobisher including details on buildings and CIRCULAT10N Ext. 326 ( 6 / 56) facilities, situation regarding employees, supply contracts including termination arrangements and the problem of disposition of fuel supplies which it is expected will be left behind by SAC. Northern Affairs will then brief the meeting on the Governments plans for Frobisher. Future plans for Churchill, Namao and Cold Lake are exclusively of concern to National Defence. According to information received from the Deputy Minister (see attached letter) it is unlikely that any detailed information on future plans for Namao, Cold Lake and Churchill will be available for tomorrow's meeting. • •2 2/ 2,39(0s) 000742 �Document disclosed underthe Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loisur l'acces a Tinformation 2 With regard to Frobisher we gained the impression at the PJBD meeting that the RCN had some tentative ideas - regarding its use for military purposes. We gather, however, that it is unlikely that DND will want to make any reference to such plans and that it might be embarrassing to invite them to comment. The question of any possible future military use of Frobisher might therefore be better left to be referred to during discussion of the division of responsibility for studies of the implications of the phase-out and possible alternative uses of the bases. 2. It has been agreed by those who will do the briefing that we should deal first with Namaoand Cold Lake, move on to Churchill and then to Frobisher. You might, therefore, after introducing the topic using paragraph 3(A) and (B) of our memorandum of February 20 as a guide, invite the RCAF to lead off the factual briefings by a statement on Namao and Cold Lake. This would be followed by a Canadian Army briefing on Churchill, a Department of Transport briefing on Frobisher and finally, a Northern Affairs briefing on future plans for Frobisher. Thereafter we could move on to determination of future action to be taken and responsibility therefor, following paragraphs 3(C), 4 and 5 of our memorandum of February 20. 44 (] ) A DEFENCE LIAISON (1) DIVISION 3 77 ■ ( Adl" 000743 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
