G. R. Pearkes (Minister of National Defence): While I am on my feet might I give a reply to a question asked yesterday by the hon. member for Algoma East (Mr. • P e a r s o n ) / T h e hon. member asked whether Canada is to be included in the , agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States, as reported in the press of that day in Washington, to* divide the responsibility for development of future atomic weapons and to share information obtained in their separate research and development. I would refer to the joint statement issued on October 26 by the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, which states as follows: The President of the United States will request congress to amend the atomic energy act as may be necessary and desirable to permit the close and fruitful collaboration of scientists and engineers of Great Britain, the United States and other friendly countries. I assume when the hon. member speaks of an agreement it is to this statement that he refers. It will be noted that the President is to request congress to make amendments to allow the collaboration of scientists and engineers from not only Great Britain and the United States but also other friendly countries. We are sure that both the United States and the United Kingdom regard Capada as a friendly country, and therefore we would be included ->in any arrangements which might be made under these a m e n d m e n t s . ^ A 000415 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
