■ WISER - TOP SECRET

Minute Sheet
April 2nd, 1952.
Mr. Ignatieff.

I have not taken action on the two
messages dated April 1st from Ottawa dealing with
the clearance of S.A.C. flights, except to ask
Heeney to forward copies by tomorrow’s bag of the
two documents which are quoted in Wiser message
No. 30.
I suggest that you should see Arneson,
explain to him the procedure which is being
followed in Canada, and discuss with him (without
leaving a copy) the proposed schedule covering
the procedure for flights carrying special
weapons.
The reasons why an Order-in-Council is
required were set forth in Wiser message No. 27
of March 8th® . I judge that the intention is not
to enter into any sort of agreement with the U.S.,
but simply to inform them of the administrative
procedures which we are putting into effect.
This would leave the Agreed Minute of last year
hanging in the air, but I do not think that matters
particularly.
It should, however, be made clear
to Arneson that the very substantial modification
of the procedures accepted in the Agreed Minute
which we are making at U.S. insistence is related
to the continuation of the consultations on world
developments.
You might suggest to him that in
our view the State Department has a very real
responsibility for volunteering information to
us which bears on their appreciation of the risks
of general war and that the exercise of this
responsibility is in part a return for the new
arrangements which we are now ready to put into
effect.

You might also ask Arneson what method
of officially notifying the U.S. of. the new
procedures would be most satisfactory to him.
At the end of Wiser message No. 29 it is suggested
that, when the new Order-in-Council is approved,
we should communicate its text and the related
schedules to the State Department on "a formal
basis”.
