GUIDED PROJECTILES

Reference is made to your minute of 22nd February, 1946,
forwarding copy of letter from the Office of the High Commissioner
for the United Kingdom, Canberra, dated 20th February. [1]

2. It has been noted that suggestions have been made that a
suitable site and facilities might be made available in Australia
for the development of research in connection with guided
projectiles and that in this connection the United Kingdom
authorities suggest that in the first instance it might be well if
a Mission could be sent from the United Kingdom to Australia to
discuss the above requirements and what arrangements might be made
between the authorities concerned in the United Kingdom and
Australia.

3. This matter has been discussed with the Prime Minister by the
Acting Minister for Defence [2] and approval has been given to a
United Kingdom Government Mission, on the lines proposed, being
received in Australia.

4. It is requested that the United Kingdom High Commissioner be
advised accordingly.
