CANADIAN MUTUAL AID EQUIPMENT

Repeat Washington EX-35.

2. Arrangements for replacement from the United States of the first division's equipment are progressing satisfactorily and should no unforeseen difficulties arise, the offer to NATO of a second division's equipment may be regarded as firm.

3. National Defence will be making available to A/V/M Campbell in Washington a detailed list of the equipment offered, for the information of the accredited representatives of member countries interested in the offer.
