I have now received a copy of the Minutes ofthat Meeting and have been asked to pass on to you an excerpt from that item of the Minutes so that you may see how the U.K. JIC are tackling this subject: " ALERTS (Previous reference: J.I.C.(54)114th Meeting, Minute 10) THE COMMITTEE continued their discussion on this subject which had been covered in three separate papers.* ,, f '* MR, DEAN said that it was clear from the discussions which had taken place in Paris -that it would be necessary at £he, earliest possible stage to examine the machinery whereby an agreed U.S./U.K./Canadian evaluation of urgent Indicator intelligence could be reached and passed to the highest political levels in all three countries. The first step, however, was carefully to study the present system of handling alerts in the U.K. which was not by any means clear. This study was a necessary preliminary to any discussions with the Americans and Canadians. G.G.
