Release of Atomic Information to
Canadian Officers at NORAD
1.
A meeting was held with Mr. Robert Margrave,
Deputy Chairman, State-Defence Military Information Control Committee, to discuss the release of atomic information to Canadian Officers at NORAD.
2.
U.S. officers at NORAD have asked for guidance
and clearance in this matter and S-DMICC has been given
the task of establishing channels and procedures for
the release of atomic information to Canadian officers
at NORAD. The U.S. suggests that a conference be held,
early in the:, new year, to establish mutually suitable
arrangements for such releases.
3.
These arrangements would be based on the
minimum requirements dictated by U.S. law. These
requirements being:
(a) Accountability of atomic information
passed to Canada and,
(b) Atomic information must be released on
a government to government basis.
I4..
The U.S. will welcome Canadian suggestions
as to how these releases at NORAD may be effected. The
following arrangements do not indicate a U.S. position
but will satisfy U.S. requirements:
(a)

A Canadian officer at Colorado Springs to
be designated as a control point to receive
atomic information. NOTE - This officer, while
acting as a control point would be an agent
of the Canadian Government and not of his
particular Service.

(b)

Documents would be released first to the Canadian
Government through existing channels or
simultaneously to the Canadian Government
through existing channels and to the Canadian
control point at Colorado Springs.

(c)

Oral and visual releases at Colorado Springs
would be summarized as outlined in Procedural
Arrangements to the Military Agreement and
the summary or resume passed to the Canadian
control point at Colorado Springs.
