SECRET Talking Points for Telephone Conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mr. Prime Minister, I am calling to discuss with you a matter of the highest interest to my country -- Canada's continuing participation in the International Commission for Control and Supervision in Vietnam. As your government nears its decision on this matter, I want you to know that I deeply believe that chances for peace in Vietnam depend in no small measure on your continued participation in the ICCS. I have followed with the greatest interest your country's role in the ICCS since January 28. What it has accomplished to date is very much a factor of your delegation's experience and highly commendable leadership. I have the highest regard for the Canadians' performance and wish to express my appreciation to you on this score. -- In the large context, the ICCS has already made important contributions to peace. Its very presence -- and particularly your participation -- has represented a restraining influence on the level of combat in Vietnam. In the initial shakedown period, it also has established itself at all points and has also established its operating procedures. While actual investigations have, so far, been relatively few in number, your active leadership has helped publicize violations by all parties. SECRET Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified
