C. TO: Commander in Chief, Continental Air Defense Command, ATTN: DCS/Intelligence, Colorado Springs, Colorado 1. The proposed Canadian-U.S. directive on an international system for reporting vital intelligence sightings is progressing favorably, and it is anticipated that an agreed draft will be referred to the JCEC for its coordination in the very near future. 2. The NATO does not have the collection capability suggested by basic communication, and the committee drafting the proposed joint Canadian-U.S. directive considered extension of the system to other nations. However, it was decided to defer this extension until the two-nation procedure had been through a trial period. BY ORDER OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF: THEODORE FRIEDENBURGH Lt Colonel, USAF Directorate of Intelligence --- No M R or statement of policy necessary.
