15 January 1954: Howe Agrees

Howe responds to Pearson’s earlier suggestion that the American government be approached about a tripartite sponsorship of the draft history. Howe writes that he “fully agree[s]” with Pearson’s suggestion, and notes that “Canada had a greater part than had the United Kingdom in developing the use of atomic energy in the earlier stages.”

Howe to Pearson, 15 Jan. 1954, LAC, RG 25, vol. 5957, file no. 50219-AF-40, part 1.
