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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY KISSINGER
FROM:
A. Denis Clift

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.

CRITICS REPEATEDLY POINT OUT TO ANY OF THE CONTINENTAL

MEMORANDUM FOR LIEUTENANT GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT
THE WHITE HOUSE
Subject: Proposed Date of Official Visit to
Washington of Prime Minister Trudeau
of Canada
In their bilateral meeting in New York earlier
this week, Secretary Kissinger and Canadian Foreign
Minister MacEachen agreed to look into the possibility
of a short official visit by Prime Minister Trudeau
to Washington in mid-November. 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.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEETING WITH CANADIAN AMBASSADOR
MARCEL CADIEUX
Tuesday, October 15, 1974
12:05 p.m. (five minutes)
The Oval Office
From: Henry A. 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.

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.

He has written the President\noffering to be of future service and State has twice expressed the hope\nthat the President will be able to receive Ambassador Schmidt for a\nbrief farewell call.\nThe President might wish to receive both Cadieux and Schmidt for a\nbrief office call. This would permit him to accept the coins --\ndemonstrating his interest in the forthcoming Olympic Games; and it\nwould permit him to express his appreciation to Ambassador Schmidt.\nIf you agree, the schedule proposal for your signature at Tab A would\nso recommend to the President.\nRECOMMENDATION\nThat you sign the schedule proposal at Tab A.\nnumber LIBRARY &\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nSCHEDULE PROPOSAL\nDATE:\nFROM: Henry A.

The Canadian Embassy has\ninquired as to the possibility of Ambassador Cadieux's\npresenting you with a set of the coins. Were you to\nreceive Ambassador Cadieux, the Canadians could be\nexpected to react quite positively to this gesture, not\nonly as an indication of the importance you attach to\nUS-Canadian relations, but also as an indication of\nyour support for the Olympic Games.\nFORD\n&\nGERALO\nLIBRARK\n-2-\nAt the same time, your former Ambassador to Ottawa,\nAdolph W. Schmidt tendered his resignation on January\n29, 1974 (letter at Tab A). He has expressed the hope\nthat it will be possible for you to receive him for a\nfarewell call. It would seem quite appropriate to have\nAmbassador Schmidt present for the coin presentation\nby Ambassador Cadieux, and you could take the occasion\nto thank Ambassador Schmidt for his service and to wish\nhim well for the future.\nAPPROVE\nDISAPPROVE\nFORD\n&\nGERALD\nLIBRARY\nDEPARTMENT OF STATE\nWashington, D.C. 20520\nJanuary 29, 1974\nDear Mr. President:\nIn further reference to my letter of October 15,\n1973 to the Secretary of State, I am very pleased\nthat my replacement was announced on January 8, 1974\nand that the Canadian reaction to the appointment of\nWilliam Porter as Ambassador to Canada has been\nuniversally favorable.\nConsequently, as I depart Ottawa today, I\nofficially tender my resignation as Ambassador of\nthe United States to Canada.\nI am grateful for the privilege and opportunity\nof having served as Ambassador in Ottawa during these\npast four and a half years.

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.

BEYOND THAT IS FACT THAT SINCE BECOMING PRIME\nMINISTER IN 1968 TRUDEAU HAS NOT OFFICIALLY VISITED\nWESTERN PUROPE. 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. THE CHOICE OF PARIS AS THE\nFIRST CAPITAL TO BE VISITED IS DELIBERATE AND SHOULD\nFORMALLY SIGNIFY A THAW IN CANADIAN FRENCH RELATIONS==\nCHILLED SINCE CHARLES DE GAULLE'S VISIT TO MONTREAL\nTN 1967.

More specifically, the\nDepartment understands that an afternoon and evening\nduring the period November 10-14 is now under active\nconsideration at the White House.\nCanadian Ambassador Cadieux informed us today\nthat Prime Minister Trudeau's other commitments will\nnot permit a visit to Washington during that period.\nThe Prime Minister's office has suggested instead the\npossibility of a visit to Washington during the first\nweek of December.

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.
