REFERENCES ONE OF TWO* YOUR TELEGRAM NO. DL-20S1 OF DEC* 10/55 SUBJECT! MEETING OF CONSULTATIONI ALERTS. WE GAVE YESTERDAY TO MINER IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT THE FORMULA AS AMENDED. WE FOUND THAT MINER (WHO WAS THE RECORDING SECRETARY AT THE CONSULTATION MEETING) REGARDED THIS FORMULA AS CLEAR AND DEFINITE AND THEREFORE AS HELPFUL* HE ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT THE CONSULTATION MEETING HAD AGREED THAT EACH SIDE SHOULD APPOINT A CIVIL AND MILITARY REPRESENTATIVE TO DISCUSS BILATERAL ALERTS ON THE BASIS OF THE CANADIAN FORMULA* 2. WE SUGGESTED THAT A MEETING BETWEEN THESE FOUR PEOPLE MIGHT USEFULLY TAKE PLACE IN JANUARY IN WASHINGTON. WHEN MINER ASKED FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE TYPE OF PERSONS, WE SUGGESTED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SUCH AS WOULD MAKE THE CONVERSATION TOO TECHNICAL, BUT SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY INFORMED ON INTELLIGENCE STRUCTURES AND CHANNELS OF EXCHANGE* 3. FOR TKE CANADIAN REPRESENTATIVES, WE WOULD BE INCLINED TO SUGGEST THAT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JIC AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF GENERAL FOULKES MIGHT COME FOR THE MEETING RATHER THAN THAT THE CHANCERY AND THE JOINT STAFF SHOULD SUPPLY REPRESENTATIVES. THE REASON FOR THIS SUGGESTION IS THAT SUCH OFFICIALS FROM OTTAWA WOULD BE FULLY AWARE NOT ONLY OF THE CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS, BUT OF THE 000296 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loisur I'acces a I'information COPY PAGE TWO 20A4 EXACT RESULTS WHICH WERE DESIRED* 4„ WE HAVE NOW INFORMED THE BRITISH EMBASSY THAT THIS DISCUS- SION ON BILATERAL ALERTS WAS HELD AT A MEETING PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH CONTINENTAL DEFENCE. WE MADE IT CLEAR THAT OUR CONCERN FOR BILATERAL PROCEDURES DID NOT IN ANY WAY LESSEN OUR INTERESTS IN THE TRIPARTITE SUGGESTION. 5* IT SEEMS TO US THAT THE PROCEDURE AGREED FOR THE BILATERAL PROBLEM MIGHT USEFULLY BE APPLIED, AND PROBABLY LATER, TO THE TRIPARTITE SCHEME* WE WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT IT BE LEFT TO THE BRITISH EMBASSY HERE TO CONSULT WITH THE FOREIGN OFFICE, ALTHOUGH YOU MAY WISH TO KEEP CANADA HOUSE INFORMED. 6.y WHEN WE TALKED TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT EARLIER.ABOUT THEIR AIDE MEMOIRE OF NOVEMBER, IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE LACK OF CLARITY WAS IN PART DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM PAPER TO WHICH IT WAS AN ANSWER. WE HAVE. THEREFORE, EXPLAINED THIS TO THE BRITISH EMBASSY AND SUGGESTED THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THEY COULD GET THEIR PROPOSAL MORE COMPLETE BY COVERING POINTS WHXCH YOU HAVE COVERED IN YOUR FORMULA FOR THE BILATERAL PLAN* THIS, OF COURSE, NEED NOT NECESSARILY RESULT IN A FURTHER FORMAL DOCUMENT, BUT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE WHEN TRIPARTITE DISCUSSIONS ARE PLANNED. 7# FROM THE VARIOUS CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HAD HERE WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT A FORMAL REPLY TO THE UNITED STATES AIDE MEMOIRE SHOULD NOT BE MADE AT THIS TIME, BUT THAT WE SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN OFFICIALS MODELLED ON THE BILATERAL DISCUSSIONS AND WITH MORE COMPLETE PROPOSALS PREPARED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM CAND ACCEPTABLE TO OURSELVES).
