Agreed Statement regarding Technical Discussions in Washington
I.
Confirming our telephone conversation regarding the
possibility of a leak in Washington regarding the technical and
scientific discussions which have been going on for the past
week in Washington, it i s my understanding that the United
Kingdom and United States authorities wish to have an agreed
release should ths knowledge of these meetings leak. T h e r e fore it is not possible to put a time embargo on this release
so that you could inform the House prior to the release of this
information. It has now been agreed that, should the United
Kingdom or the United States authorities be forced to make
a statement, they will make such a statement but with no
reference to Canadian participation. It will then be possible
for •you to make a statement at some appropriate time In the
House, refer to the statement made In the UK or US p r e s s ,
and mention that further to the statements regarding technical
and scientific collaboration between the United Kingdom, the
United Statss and Canada-which you had referred to In
presenting your estimates, you a r e pleased to inform the
House that Canadian technical and scientific representatives
have been participating in these technical discussions with
the UK and US authorities in Washington. These technical
discussions were a result of the meetings in October between
the President of the United States and the Prime Ministerof
the United Kingdom. The fields in which Canada was participating
were mainly in connection with the defence of the Canada-United
States Region of NATO, which included the subjects you had
mentioned in your departmental estimates, such a s , power
r e a c t o r s , anti-submarine detection and^defence against ballistic
missiles.
