Abstract

The Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organizaton (NATO) met on February 14, 1957, to hear the United Kingdom Permanent Representative, Sir Frank Roberts, discuss the proposed changes in the United Kingdom defense system and the reduction of United Kingdom forces in continental Europe. It was reported that the United Kingdom case was presented in the light of financial and economic difficulties in the United Kingdom. At a Council meeting on February 22, in Paris, General Norstad (Supreme Allied Commander Europe) reportedly expressed concern, not so much at the suggestion of the reduction of United Kingdom forces as at the possible effect of such reduction on other NATO members. Opposition to the United Kingdom plan was reported to have existed at the Council's subsequent closed meetings, ending without agreement on March 13. It was reported on March 19 that the United Kingdom would defer the major share of the cuts until the Council, at the request of the Western European Union, could study the proposals and review the military resources of NATO.
