WILQRESSs In accordance with our conversation on Friday, I showed your memorandum of Hay 11th, addressed to me, to the Prime Minister yesterday evening. I told him that the officers of the Department of External Affairs had been surprised that the O.S. representatives on the P.J.B.D. had made this statement at this time and were concerned lest it appear to be contrary to what the Prime Minister himself had been saying. I went on to tell him that I had asked that the minutes not be circulated before June l$th. Tho Prime Minister noted the memorandum and the points I had made about it but did not express any views concerning the substance of the matter that he wished me to pass on. He did ask me to tell you that he felt statements that you make as Chairman of the Canadian Section should be cleared beforehand with both the Secretary of State for External Affairs and the Minister of National Defence, rather than on occasion with one or the other. I did not endeavour to offer any explanation on this point as I was not familiar enough with tino -work, of the Board. I suppose there are some things of a purely administrative or technical nature about which you feel it is unnecessary to trouble the Secretary of State for External Affairs and perhaps other things of a purely diplomatic nature. about which you feel it is not necessary to trouble the Minister of National Defence, In any event, I think the Prime Ministers desire that you should consult both of them in advance is quite definite. �Document disclosed under the Access to InformatiotiAct Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur faeces a)'information 002539 �- 2 - Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information Although the Prime Minister did not comment on my statement that I had asked that the minutes not be circulated before June 18th, I think It would be wise to take this precaution during the campaign. - a& .23*25'*. 002540 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
