38. Mr. Sandelson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on NATO's surveillance of the recent global naval exercise by the USSR.

Mr. Mason

NATO surveillance of the Soviet Naval exercise Okean 75 was carried out by the standing NATO naval force in the Atlantic—STANAVFORLANT. The force's submission was to report the deployment of the Soviet vessels, observe their activities and obtain information on the capabilities of the ships.
