MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRIME MINISTER ., / X\* Mr. Smith tried unsuccessfully to reach you by telephone just after 6.00 p.m. to report on a visit he had this afternoon from the United States Ambassador and the Acting United Kingdom High Commissioner. y* m Messrs. Merchant and Crombie were under instructions to confirm an invitation which was this afternoon conveyed in Washington to our Ambassador that the Canadian Government should become the third member of the Special Committee on Atomic Weapons and Development, which was established at the time of Mr. Macmillan^ recent visit to Washington. The Canadian Governraent is asked to send a representative to Washington to a meeting of the Committee which will take place on December 3« Mr. Merchant, who did the talking, made two supplementary points: (a) in the view of the United Kingdom and United States it was of first importance that there should be no publicity concerning Canada*s adherence to the Committee; and (b) there were a number of sub-committees branching out from the main committee. Canadian membership of the main committee would also involve attendance at meetings of all the sub-committees except one, which was concerned with advanced weapon design. Canadian attendance at the proceedings of this sub-committee was, Mr. Merchant said, precluded by United States security regulations. In any case, the sub-committee was concerned with a field of work in which Canada was not involved. The Minister said that, subject to clearance with you, he felt certain that Canada would gladly accept the invitation to'join the Special Coimnittee. He also agreed to the importance of avoiding publicity. ^ O l ^ / ^ lK ^ ^ jyTQ 1 S%mtm^ CO-Umt^f,Vtl*.
