OTTAWA, March 2 9 ,

\

Dear General Foulkes,
Reference is made to my letter of
March 21st, to which I attached a copy of a telegram
which I sent to the Chairman of the London Signals
Intelligence Board, concerning the agreement for the
transfer of Hydra to Canadian Government ownership.

O

I have now received a reply to
this telegram stating "Confirmed throughout". I assume,
therefore, that the Army will assume responsibility
for the Oshawa station on the 1st April, 1947*
Yours s i n c e r e l y ,

U n d e r - S e c r e t a r y of S t a t e

Chief o f t h e G e n e r a l S t a f f ,
Department of N a t i o n a l Defence,
OTTAWA, Canada.
