D.L.(2) Div Because of prior commitments by some of the proposed participants, the meeting proposed in D.L.(l)'s memorandum under reference for the morning of Friday, January 20, did not take place. However, representatives of D.LE(1) and Disarmament Divisions met and discussed the first draft of proposed Canadian comments. As a result, it was decided that the paper should be redrafted. I attach a copy of the second draft of the proposed Canadian comments. We invite the attention of Far Eastern Division in particular to the section discussing the effects of an ABM deployment in Asia and the Pacific. 2. We should be glad if comments or suggestions for revision of this draft could be communicated either in writing or by phone to reach Mr. Schioler of this Division by noon on Friday, January 27. After intra-departmental agreement on the text, the plan is to clear comments with the Department of National Defence at the official level prior to submission to the Prime Minister under a joint memorandum to be signed by the SSEA and the Minister of National Defence.
