MEMORANDUM FQR DEFENCE LIAISON (1) DIVISION,
Meeting on Scientific Consultation
in Washington
Mr. RoDertson telephoned me late yesterday to
say that he had just been called to a very private
meeting with Mr. Murphy and Sir Harold Caccia. The
purpose of the meeting was to oring Canada into the
tripartite fold and invite us to the meeting on
Scientific Consultation beginning on Tuesday. I said
that I thought Mr. Merchant had already spoken to our
Minister on this subject. Mr. Robertson said he understood that there were to be joint representations to us.
As today is an American holiday and he was leaving
Washington, Mr. Robertson was anxious to inform us
before departing. The attached telegram No. 2523 from
Washington follows up this conversation.
The point which Mr. Robertson stressed in
particular was the absolute necessity of keeping this
operation quiet. It would be most embarrassing if
it were known that Canada was participating because
of the "4th country problem". He had some doubts as
to whether it could be kept quiet as Sir William Penney
was coming out from England. However, he was most
anxious that a leak, if there was one, should not come
from Ottawa. I said that we were very well aware of
this aspect of the invitation.
