U,S. proposal for FATG stockpiles of nuclear weapons
SUBJECT:

I attach for your consideration a Copy of a letter dated August 9
from the Chairman, Chiefs of Staff to the Judge Advocate General requesting
the latter to consider the kind of legislation which may be required, through
amendments to the Atomic Energy Act end the Customs Act of Canada, in the
event of "importation, exportation, use and control of nuclear_ weapons aad
components on Canadiaa a oil and in Canadiaa air apace", as a result of the
above U;S, proposal, fou will note that the Judge Advocate General haa bBen
instructed, ia this connection, to initiate expropriate iaterdepartmeatat
consultations. We may assume therefore that our department will be hearing
in due time froin the Department of National Defence on this matter.
2,
We thought that it would be desirable meanwhile, in order to
underline the considerable interest which this department has on thiaA - ;,
subject, to aokaowledge receipt formally, of this communication'from the .
Chairman, Chiefs of Staff, It has occurred to us however thati before
doing so, we might aJcertaia from the divisions concerned whether there
are any observations which should also be, made at this stage to the
Department of Satioael Defence. It would therefore be .appreciated if
your division would let us know of my comments which you think.ought to
be made now to the H&amp;tional Defence authorities on the basis of the
Instructions issued to the Judge Advocate General*
