MEMORANDUM FOR:

FROM:
BRENT SCOWCROFT As
SUBJECT:
Message to Prime Minister Trudeau
on Canadian Participation in the ICCS
The Canadian Government has been under considerable domestic
pressure to withdraw from participation in the Vietnam International
Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS). We have learned
that the Canadian cabinet will decide tomorrow on whether or not to
withdraw from the ICCS.
The Canadians have been the prime movers in the ICCS, and their
departure would be an extremely serious loss. We therefore strongly
recommend that you urge Prime Minister Trudeau to continue Canadian
participation in the ICCS.
Secretary Rogers has recommended that you call Prime Minister
Trudeau and personally urge him to reach an affirmative decision.
We have also prepared a letter (Tab A) from you to the Prime Minister
which we can transmit today should you decide not to call him.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you telephone Prime Minister Trudeau today and urge him to
continue Canadian participation in the ICCS. (Talking points are at
Tab B.)
