1. The U, 5. Array SEHTIMSL System Manager has asked that I- write to
request that Canada inform the U. 5., through frequency coordination
channels, 'of its position on the SENlrJEEL radars to be local".ed. near
Grand Forks, North Dakota.. The schedule for deployment of the SEKiEEiEL
System requires that detailed work at the Grand Forks location commence
in the very near future.
2. In accordance with the Telecommunications Agreement between the
U. S. and Canada of 24 October 1962, ceveraJ join: technical discussions
have "been held. As agreed in the discussions, additional SEKIIITEL data
and an analysis of the specific Grand Forks EMC Questions by the U. S.
Department of Defense Electro-magnetic Compatibility Analysis Center
(ECAC) have been forwarded for Canadian evaluation. Based on tne SEKTlKSEi
technical data and the ECAC analysis, the U. S. does not expect any
significant interference to Canadian spectrurf; users.

3- .It is. recognized that the Missile Site R?.dar location at Grand Forks
may be subject to some question as a result of its position in line with
the microwave telephone links from Olga. K. D. (U.S.) tc R0.3en.feEd
(Manitoba). There are, however, major tactical, geological, and financial
constraints which had to be considered. Should the U. S. analysis
conclusion that no significant interference is to be expected at these
locations be found in error during test radiations, the U, S. will folio-,-.established procedures for alleviating any such problems.
if. On behalf of the U. S. Army and the SEFflNSL System Manager, I
to thank the participants from the Canadian geverament for the high
