Editorial Note
At the 56th meeting of the North Atlantic Council Deputies in London on July 16, a resolution on economic aid to Yugoslavia was presented to the Council by the Deputies of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and was tentatively adopted pending final approval by the Council Deputy from Canada. (Telegram Depto 65, July 17, 740.5/7–1751) The wording of the resolution was subsequently altered because of the concern of the Canadian Government that it would be committing itself to provide aid [Page 1836] rather than just committing itself to be receptive to such a request for aid from Yugoslavia. The final text of the resolution, circulated as NATO document D–D(51)189, recommended that if the member countries “are approached by the Yugoslav Government to extend economic assistance, they should cooperate to the fullest extent possible.” This resolution was approved during the 60th meeting of the Council Deputies on August 1.
