Minute Sheet -2- to see if he could arrange a briefing for the Minister on S.A.C. operations. Mr. Arneson hoped to get in touch with me later today about the arrangements. Reverting to an earlier conversation on the role of Goose Bay in the S.A.C. plans, Mr. Arneson said he wished to correct any impression that we may have received from the Pentagon that Goose Bay was not as necessary as had previously been indicated for S.A.C. operations. He said it was true that for the purposes of planning for the period beyond 1956, the extension of the range of jet aircraft might make Goose Bay not as necessary as a point of origin of S.A.C. operations. Until then, however. Goose Bay was regarded as definitely necessary, and would be used, subject to the concurrence of the Canadian Government. He observed that the S.A.C. now has to rely upon the B-47 as .the principal carrier aircraft and that jet aircraft require extensive refuelling arrangements both, at points of departure and of return. Goose Bay would be important from this point of view, if from no other, as a supporting base for the main S.A.C. base in the Northeastern United States. at.
