WISER - TOP SECRET

Minute Sheet
: March 7th, 1952.

The' Ambassador.

Comments on your Memorandum of March 7th;
"Special Flights" to and through Canada"* ■
~
by the U.S.A.F.
I have three changes to suggest, as
follows: .

1. In paragraph 44, although "the characteristics
of atomic warfare” might be taken to include the
need for secrecy in order to obtain the greatest
advantage( surprise, I suggest that a specific
reference be made to this consideration by including a phrase such as the following, following the
word ’’reached”: ’’and the secrecy with which
preparations have to be made in order to obtain
the maximum, advantage from surprise”.
The word
"and” would be deleted from the preceding clause.
2. In paragraph 1 on page 2 you might consider '
adding the following sentence: ”If the U.S.
proves adamant against making the consultations
tripartite, it should be at least understood
that the representatives of the U.K. and Canadian
Governments will keep each other fully informed
on the views expressed by them respectively to the
U.S. Government in the separate consultations. ”

3. You might consider adding the following
sentence in paragraph 3: "If the purpose is found
to be unsatisfactory to the Canadian Government
or the information insufficient to enable the
Canadian Government to make a considered judgment,
the Canadian Government will reserve the right
to request further information or withhold
approval to particular requests for the use of
Canadian facilities by the U.S. Government.”
