§ 53. Mr. Swinglerasked the Prime Minister on what evidence he accepted from the United States Government, and quoted in the British Note to the Soviet Government, the assertion that the RB-47 was never less than 30 miles from the Soviet Coast.
§ The Prime MinisterThe aircraft's flight plan did not take it within fifty miles of Soviet territory at any point. We were ourselves able to determine the position of this aircraft, and we have reliable evidence to show that it did not go within thirty miles of the coast. Our information fully tallied with the United States estimate.
