THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
DaB
MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
3002
WASHINGTON
ACTION
June 5, 1973
MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
HENRY A. KISSINGER
SUBJECT:
Reply to Prime Minister Trudeau
Attached at Tab A is a suggested reply to a May 29 message (Tab B)
from Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau concerning Canada's par-
ticipation in the Vietnam International Commission for Control and
Supervision.
Trudeau formally advised you that the Canadians have decided to pull
out of the Vietnam ICCS but to delay the deadline for their departure
from June 30 to July 31. Although Trudeau avoids a full explanation
for this decision, he notes that the decisive element was Canada's
19 year history of cease-fire supervision in Vietnam. He adds that
the only criticism implied by this decision is a lack of good faith by
the Vietnamese parties in abiding by the Agreement and states that
the ICCS "got off to as good a start as circumstances permitted. 11
Your reply at Tab A expresses deep regret at the Canadian decision
but notes our appreciation of Canada's constructive role in the ICCS
and willingness to participate until July 31.
Dave Gergen concurs.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you sign the letter to Prime Minister Trudeau at Tab A.
