We should, however, in any case and as soon as possi -
ble, take such steps as are available and necessary to prevent
the further exercise of Czech rights under the U.S - -Czechoslo-
vak bilateral transport agreement. At the present time, it is
intended not to cancel this agreement but rather to rely upon
the authority and intent of the Civil Aeronautics Board to
deny to the Czechs a permit to operate a trans-Atlantic ser-
vice to the United States.
d. We should request the appropriate British and Fronch
authorities, on our assurance that we will do likewise if they
agree, to suspend permits which authorize the civil air lines
of satellite countries to overfly their occupation zones in
Germany and Austria and to refuse to grant such permits to
other satellite states.
e.
On setisfactory assurance from the British and French
authorities, we should instruct our occupation authorities in
Germany and Austria to suspend permits authorizing Czechoslo-
vakia's civil air line to overfly our zones and to continue
to refuse the granting of such permits to any other satellite
states.
f.
Presidential Proclamation 2776 placing restrictions
on the sale and export of aircraft, engines, spare parts, and
electronic equipment used in connection with aircraft operation
should be so interpreted and enforced as to insure that the
USSR and her satellites will be unable to obtain such equip-
ment from the U.S. or from areas under U. S. control.
g.
We should continue to press for informal arrangements
with other countries, particularly the U.K., France, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and Sweden, by which those
countries would put in effect like restrictions, which should
include denial of use of facilities for overhaul, refitting
and maintenance to USSR and satellite aircraft.
h.
So long as the present situation in regard to
Finnish-Soviet integration remains unchanged, Finland should
not come under the above restrictions.
i. In view of the breach between Tito and the Kremlin
and the evidence at hand that Soviet control of Yugoslav civil
air operations has been eliminated, Yugoslavia should be ex-
empted from the above restrictions so long as the present
breach is maintained.
3.
All of these measures should be carried out, as far as
possible, in a manner sufficiently flexible to admit of their quiet
and inconspicuous retraction to the degree that they might be suc-
cessful in inducing the Russians to take a more liberal attitude
toward the operation of western carriers in the USSR and the
satellite area.
