THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 2, 1974 Denis: The Schmidt proposal has already gone forward. Accordingly, against the contingency that it will be approved, you may wish to separate out Cadieux from this package and send forward a proposal on him alone. Alternatively, or at least as a hedge, you may wish to hold on to this package for use in the event that the Schmidt package is disapproved. Now that matters are thoroughly confused, let me know if I can be of further assistance. Bud MacFarlane FORD LIBRARY & OFRALD MEMORANDUM 638 NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL ACTION February 20, 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY KISSINGER FROM: A. Denis Clift her SUBJECT: Schedule Proposal for Ambassador Cadieux and Ambassador Schmidt The Canadian Embassy has asked if it would be possible for Ambassador Cadieux to present the President with a set of coins struck in honor of the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics (State Memorandum at Tab B). As you know, the former U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Adolph W. Schmidt resigned at the end of January. He has written the President offering to be of future service and State has twice expressed the hope that the President will be able to receive Ambassador Schmidt for a brief farewell call. The President might wish to receive both Cadieux and Schmidt for a brief office call. This would permit him to accept the coins -- demonstrating his interest in the forthcoming Olympic Games; and it would permit him to express his appreciation to Ambassador Schmidt. If you agree, the schedule proposal for your signature at Tab A would so recommend to the President. RECOMMENDATION That you sign the schedule proposal at Tab A. number LIBRARY & THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON SCHEDULE PROPOSAL DATE: FROM: Henry A. Kissinger VIA: David N. Parker MEETING: Canadian Ambassador Cadieux and former U.S. Ambassador to Canada Schmidt DATE: At the President's convenience, within the next few weeks. PURPOSE: To receive from Cadieux a special set of coins struck in honor of Canada's hosting of the 1976 Olympic Games, and to take the same occasion to express your appreciation to Ambassador Schmidt for his service in Ottawa. FORMAT: Oval Office, 15 minutes. SPEECH MATERIAL: Talking points will be provided. PRESS COVERAGE: To be announced; press photo opportunity. STAFF: Henry A. Kissinger RECOMMEND: Henry A. Kissinger BACKGROUND: The Olympic Committee has awarded the 1976 Summer Olympics to Canada, and they are to be held in Montreal. The Canadian Government has authorized a special issue of coins and stamps as part of the fund-raising drive for the Olympics. The Canadian Embassy has inquired as to the possibility of Ambassador Cadieux's presenting you with a set of the coins. Were you to receive Ambassador Cadieux, the Canadians could be expected to react quite positively to this gesture, not only as an indication of the importance you attach to US-Canadian relations, but also as an indication of your support for the Olympic Games. FORD & GERALO LIBRARK -2- At the same time, your former Ambassador to Ottawa, Adolph W. Schmidt tendered his resignation on January 29, 1974 (letter at Tab A). He has expressed the hope that it will be possible for you to receive him for a farewell call. It would seem quite appropriate to have Ambassador Schmidt present for the coin presentation by Ambassador Cadieux, and you could take the occasion to thank Ambassador Schmidt for his service and to wish him well for the future. APPROVE DISAPPROVE FORD & GERALD LIBRARY DEPARTMENT OF STATE Washington, D.C. 20520 January 29, 1974 Dear Mr. President: In further reference to my letter of October 15, 1973 to the Secretary of State, I am very pleased that my replacement was announced on January 8, 1974 and that the Canadian reaction to the appointment of William Porter as Ambassador to Canada has been universally favorable. Consequently, as I depart Ottawa today, I officially tender my resignation as Ambassador of the United States to Canada. I am grateful for the privilege and opportunity of having served as Ambassador in Ottawa during these past four and a half years. They have been active and challenging and on occasion even exciting, as during the Quebec crisis of October 1970, the August 15, 1971 New Economic Policy, your State Visit in April 1972, and the energy crisis of 1973. I send you my very best wishes for the remaining years of your Presidency. If I can be of further service to you at any time, particularly in the area of Atlantic affairs, please do not hesitate to call upon me. With kindest regards, Sincerely, Adolph W. Schmidt The President, The White House, Washington, D.C. FORM A GERALO LIBRARY DEPARTMENT OF STATE S/S 7403413 Washington, D.C. 20520 February 16, 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR MAJOR GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT THE WHITE HOUSE Subject: Letter of Resignation from Ambassador Adolph W. Schmidt I am forwarding the attached letter for the President from Ambassador Adolph W. Schmidt upon his departure from Ottawa, Canada. In an earlier memorandum to you dated January 22, 1974, we had requested an appointment with the President for Ambassador Schmidt on either January 30 or 31. These dates were not possible for the President. George S. Springsteen Executive Secretary Attachment: Letter of Resignation. FORD , BERALD LIBRARY 3298 634 DeParTMent OF STATE Washington, D.C. 20520 February 15, 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR MAJOR GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT THE WHITE HOUSE Subject: Canadian Request for a Ceremonial Presentation The Canadian Government has struck a special set of coins commemorating Canada's hosting of the 1976 Olympic Games. As part of its official publicity for the Games, Canada is making cere- monial presentations of these coin sets to heads of state. The Canadian Embassy has inquired as to the possibility of Ambassador Cadieux making such a presentation to the President. If the President's program should permit his receiving Ambassador Cadieux for this purpose, the Department would appreciate being informed of dates and times suitable for the presentation. Should the President's program not permit, the Department of State would appreciate being informed if the Vice President could perform this ceremonial function on behalf of the President and, if so, suitable times and dates for its scheduling. We believe that it would be desirable to accede to the Canadian Embassy's request in this matter. Jan Executive George FORD & BERALD LIBRARY MEMORANDUM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL 3820 CONFIDENTIAL ACTION September 3, 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY KISSINGER FROM: A. Denis Clift en OBE SUBJECT: US-Canadian Relations -- Timing for Trudeau Visit to Washington The purpose of this memorandum is to seek your guidance on the preferred timing for the first meeting between President Ford and Prime Minister Trudeau in Washington. Bearing in mind the growing number of commitments on the President's and Prime Minister's schedules for the balance of 1974, I am raising this to ensure that a US-Canadian meeting is not precluded by scheduling complications if the President wishes to have such a meeting before the end of the year. At present, a broad-ranging study of US-Canadian relations is being conducted in response to NSSM 06/CIEPSM 36, and the NSSM response should be avail- able for consideration at the White House by the third week in September. This timing would indicate that it should be possible for you to complete an interdepartmental policy-level review of the current, important US-Canadian issues by the end of October -- and, if desired, that head-to-head talks could be scheduled for November or December. The Prime Minister and the President have both noted they look forward to early discussions in their recent exchange of messages. Ivan Head has confirmed to General Scowcroft that the Prime Minister would be pleased to come to Washington before the end of the year. However, on August 24, the Ottawa Citizen quoted a spokesman in the Prime Minister's office as saying that Trudeau is not planning a meeting with the President in the foreseeable future, but that he may visit Washington within the next year. As reported in the telegram at Tab A, Trudeau is now making plans for a two-stage visit to Western Europe this coming Fall and Winter. In my opinion, it would be in the best interests of US-Canadian bilateral relations if the President and the Prime Minister were to schedule a one-day working visit before the end of the year to set a positive tone in our political relations and to review the defense, trade/economic, energy and resources issues of importance to both countries. FOHD ? CONFIDENTIAL - GDS BERALD LIBRARY GG 10/15/01 CONFIDENTIAL -2- - With your approval, I will draft a schedule proposal recommending that the President agree to meet with Trudeau this year.

More specifically, the Department understands that an afternoon and evening during the period November 10-14 is now under active consideration at the White House. Canadian Ambassador Cadieux informed us today that Prime Minister Trudeau's other commitments will not permit a visit to Washington during that period. The Prime Minister's office has suggested instead the possibility of a visit to Washington during the first week of December. December 4 apparently would be most convenient for the Prime Minister. Ambassador Cadieux would welcome an early indication as to whether a date during this period in December might be possible for the President. Stylen uumal George S.

Kissinger I. PURPOSE To receive from Ambassador Cadieux (cahDYUH -- biographic sketch at Tab A) a special set of coins struck in honor of Canada's hosting of the 1976 Olympic Games. II. BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS & PRESS ARRANGEMENTS A. Background: The Olympic Committee has awarded the 1976 Summer Olympics to Canada, and the games are to be held in Montreal. The Canadian Government has authorized a special issue of coins and stamps as part of the fund-raising drive for the Olympics. As a gesture of US-Canadian friendship, and to highlight the Olympics fund-raising drive, the Government of Canada is most eager to present you personally with a set of the coins. At the request of the Canadians, US agencies including the FBI, INS and State are working closely with the Royal Mounted Police on security arrangements for the Olympics -- with the objective of averting the terrorist acts of the 1972 Munich Olympics. The only other issue Ambassador Cadieux may raise during this brief meeting is that of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau's visit to Washington later this year. Your meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister is now tentatively scheduled for December 4, 1974. FORD DECLARBIFIED E.O. 12956, SEC. 3.5 CONFIDENTIAL NSC MEMO, 11/24/96, STATE DEPT.

Press Arrangements: The meeting will be announced, and there will be a press photo session. III. TALKING POINTS 1. I greatly appreciate receiving this handsome set of coins relating as it does to the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. 2. The Olympic Games symbolize the best in international sports competition. The athletes who participate are themselves diplomats; they increase contacts and strengthen the bonds of friendship among peoples throughout the world. 3. I am sure that many Americans will be travelling to Montreal for the Olympic Games in 1976 adding further to the very close ties of friendship between the United States and Canada. 4. As 1976 will be our Bicentennial Year, it is my hope that many Canadians will have the opportunity to visit to this country and to take part in our celebration. 5. I know the very hard work that goes into the preparation for the Olympic games -- not only by the athletes but also by those organizing the event. To all who are involved, I extend my very best wishes for a very successful Montreal Olympics.

The Canadian Embassy has\ninquired as to the possibility of Ambassador Cadieux's\npresenting you with a set of the coins.

Denis Clift\nen\nOBE\nSUBJECT:\nUS-Canadian Relations -- Timing for Trudeau Visit\nto Washington\nThe purpose of this memorandum is to seek your guidance on the preferred\ntiming for the first meeting between President Ford and Prime Minister\nTrudeau in Washington. Bearing in mind the growing number of commitments\non the President's and Prime Minister's schedules for the balance of 1974,\nI am raising this to ensure that a US-Canadian meeting is not precluded by\nscheduling complications if the President wishes to have such a meeting before\nthe end of the year.\nAt present, a broad-ranging study of US-Canadian relations is being conducted\nin response to NSSM 06/CIEPSM 36, and the NSSM response should be avail-\nable for consideration at the White House by the third week in September.\nThis timing would indicate that it should be possible for you to complete\nan interdepartmental policy-level review of the current, important US-Canadian\nissues by the end of October -- and, if desired, that head-to-head talks could\nbe scheduled for November or December.\nThe Prime Minister and the President have both noted they look forward to\nearly discussions in their recent exchange of messages. Ivan Head has\nconfirmed to General Scowcroft that the Prime Minister would be pleased\nto come to Washington before the end of the year. However, on August 24,\nthe Ottawa Citizen quoted a spokesman in the Prime Minister's office as\nsaying that Trudeau is not planning a meeting with the President in the\nforeseeable future, but that he may visit Washington within the next year.\nAs reported in the telegram at Tab A, Trudeau is now making plans for a\ntwo-stage visit to Western Europe this coming Fall and Winter.\nIn my opinion, it would be in the best interests of US-Canadian bilateral\nrelations if the President and the Prime Minister were to schedule a one-day\nworking visit before the end of the year to set a positive tone in our political\nrelations and to review the defense, trade/economic, energy and resources\nissues of importance to both countries.\nFOHD\n?\nCONFIDENTIAL - GDS\nBERALD\nLIBRARY\nGG 10/15/01\nCONFIDENTIAL\n-2- -\nWith your approval, I will draft a schedule proposal recommending that\nthe President agree to meet with Trudeau this year.\nRECOMMENDATION\nThat you indicate your guidance on a possible Trudeau visit:\nDraft schedule proposal for:\nNovember 1974 visit\nDecember 1974 visit\nJanuary 1975 visit\nNo action required at present\nFORD\n\"\nCONFIDENTIAL - GDS\nGERALD\nLIBRARY\nDEPARTMENT OF STATE\nDepartment of State\nOF SETTE AMERICA UNITED\nTELEGRAM\nCONFIDENTIAL 7484\nPAGE 01 OTTAWA 02781 291732Z\n64\nACTION EUR-25\nTNFO OCT-01 ISO-00 CIAE-00 DODE-00 PM=07 H-03 INR-11 L-03\nNSAE-00 NSC-07 PA-04 RSC-01 PRS-01 SP-03 SS=20\nUSIA-15 SAJ-01 SAM-01 OMB-01 EB-11 TRSE-00 DRC-01 (\nBOOK-691, ) W\n112801\nR 291700Z AUG 74\nFM AMEMBASSY OTTAWA\nTO SECSTATE WASHDC 4368\nINFO AMEMBASSY BRUSSELS\nUSMISSION EC BRUSSELS UNN\nAMEMBASSY PARIS\nUSMISSION NATO\nC n N F T D E N I A L OTTAWA 2781\nNOFORN\nEO 11652 GDS\nTAGS PFOR NATO CA FR BE\nSUBJ PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU PLANS VISIT\nTO WESTERN EUROPE IN FALL\nREF USNATO 4541 (NOTAL)\n1.

HE HAS BEEN TO LONDON IN COMMONWEALTH\nCONTEXT, TO MOSCOW, PEKING AND TOKYO BUT NOT--AS HIS\nCRITICS REPEATEDLY POINT OUT TO ANY OF THE CONTINENTAL\nCAPITALS, SOONER OR LATER, TRUDEAU WOULD OBVIOUSLY\nVISIT THIS PART OF WORLD.

BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS & PRESS ARRANGEMENTS\nA. Background: The Olympic Committee has awarded the 1976\nSummer Olympics to Canada, and the games are to be held in\nMontreal. The Canadian Government has authorized a special\nissue of coins and stamps as part of the fund-raising drive for\nthe Olympics.\nAs a gesture of US-Canadian friendship, and to highlight the\nOlympics fund-raising drive, the Government of Canada is most\neager to present you personally with a set of the coins.\nAt the request of the Canadians, US agencies including the FBI,\nINS and State are working closely with the Royal Mounted Police\non security arrangements for the Olympics -- with the objective\nof averting the terrorist acts of the 1972 Munich Olympics.\nThe only other issue Ambassador Cadieux may raise during this\nbrief meeting is that of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau's\nvisit to Washington later this year. Your meeting with the\nCanadian Prime Minister is now tentatively scheduled for December\n4, 1974.\nFORD\nDECLARBIFIED\nE.O. 12956, SEC. 3.5\nCONFIDENTIAL\nNSC MEMO, 11/24/96, STATE DEPT.

Press Arrangements: The meeting will be announced, and\nthere will be a press photo session.\nIII.\nTALKING POINTS\n1. I greatly appreciate receiving this handsome set of coins\nrelating as it does to the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.\n2. The Olympic Games symbolize the best in international sports\ncompetition. The athletes who participate are themselves\ndiplomats; they increase contacts and strengthen the bonds of\nfriendship among peoples throughout the world.\n3. I am sure that many Americans will be travelling to Montreal\nfor the Olympic Games in 1976 adding further to the very close\nties of friendship between the United States and Canada.\n4. As 1976 will be our Bicentennial Year, it is my hope that\nmany Canadians will have the opportunity to visit to this country\nand to take part in our celebration.\n5. I know the very hard work that goes into the preparation for\nthe Olympic games -- not only by the athletes but also by those\norganizing the event. To all who are involved, I extend my very\nbest wishes for a very successful Montreal Olympics.\nCONF IDENTIAL\nFORD\n&\nGERALD\nLIBRARY\nHb\nNATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION\nPresidential Libraries Withdrawal Sheet\nWITHDRAWAL ID 014126\nREASON FOR WITHDRAWAL\n....\nNational security restriction\nTYPE OF MATERIAL\nBiography\nTITLE\nMarcel Cadieux\nDESCRIPTION\nAmbassador to the United States\nCREATION DATE\n04/1972\nVOLUME\n1 page\nCOLLECTION/SERIES/FOLDER ID\n032500030\nCOLLECTION TITLE\nNATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.
