Dear Mr. President:
In my capacity as Chairman of the United States
Section of the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, Canada-
United States, I had the privilege of co-chairing the 141st
meeting of the Board held last month in the Department of
State. The discussions as usual were cordial and frank,
covering the entire range of bilateral political-military
issues. It was evident that we have made good progress
on several current matters of interest, such as our con-
tinuing requirement for the use of Goose Bay Air Base and
some other issues relating to North American air defense.
Regarding the latter issues, I would note that, in response
to Canadian questions, an informative discussion ensued
regarding the Airborne Warning and Control System Program
as it relates to both NORAD and NATO.
In addition to the regular agenda items, the Canadian
Section presented a comprehensive briefing on the latest
results of their ongoing defense review. They told us of
the Canadian Government decision to modernize and improve
their tank forces in Central Europe as well as their in-
tention to purchase Lockheed Orion long-range patrol air-
craft for maritime patrol duty in the North Atlantic.
This renewed Canadian commitment to NATO and to bilateral
defense arrangements is indeed heartening to me. I suggest
that you may wish to consider expressing your own personal
satisfaction over these Canadian decisions when you next
see the Prime Minister.
