Editorial Note

At their 32d meeting on November 23, the NATO Council Deputies considered a resolution on Berlin introduced by United States Deputy Spofford, and agreed that each country should consider the level of its trade with the city. The Deputies also agreed “that an attack on German police or any other force in Western Berlin would constitute attack on occupying powers and bring NATO into force.” (Depto 213, November 23, from London, not printed, 740.5/11–2350)
