SUGGESTED RESPONSE TO CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU
FROM THE PRESIDENT
CONFIDENTIAL/EXDIS
Dear Mr. Prime Minister:
Your message of November 7, with its forthright expression
of your determination not to bow to foreign pressure, is most
gratifying.
As you say, we face difficult and worrisome problems
because of energy shortages in the months ahead. Your
assurance of a desire to consult closely with us and of
your intent to take account of our needs is most welcome.
For our part, we are determined to be resolute in our own
conservation measures, and we stand ready to consult and
cooperate with your Government in every respect.
In your message you alluded to your earlier public
statement to the effect that while Canadian-American relations
will adjust to circumstance, friendship for the United States
is not regarded by Canadians as negotiable. I appreciated
your statement at the time, and I welcome its reaffirmation.
You may recall that on the same occasion I responded that we
are friends because we have trusted one another enough to be
candid about our problems -- and because our candor has
nourished our cooperation. Your good message bears out what
we both said.
With personal regards,
CONFIDENTIAL/EXDIS
