I Telephone: WHItehall yooo n% lv^ 17th January, 1964,, Our reference; GSS 1 7 4 9 / 6 4 Your reference: Transatlantic Telegraph Communications As mentioned in his letter of 15th January, Ted Maltby has passed me a copy of your letter to him reference HQTS 1250-36(Sigs.2A) dated 17th December, 19^3 5 about the proposed re-arrangement of the Ministry of Defence/Washington Embassy telegraph channel. I v/as very glad to learn that you will be able to handle the switching of tliis circuit at O.T.G. Leitrim and later at Carp. 2. I gather from the reference in your letter to a requirement for two landline "tails" between the C.O.T.C. terminal and O..T.C. Leitrim that the Washington/Leitrim channel will be routed Via Montreal. I can assure you that the U.K. will accept the installation and recurring costs involved in the provision of both the Montrea]/Leitrim "tails" and I hope to arrange for these to be paid for in the U.K. and in Washington, respectively, as part of the U.K./Leitrim and Washington/ Leitrim channels. 3." I of the should obtain of the vd.ll let you know just as soon as possible of the proposed timing re-arrangement. The Post Office have already advised us that it not take very long to provide the main channel but we have yet to information as to how much time must be allowed for the provision Washington/Leitrim channel. 4« Perhaps you would care to nominate a contact officer with whom Mr. V.J. Habberfield, the officer on my staff dealing with the rationalisation of Government rented cable channels, can deal on questions of detail, as may be necessary. 2 •K?
