Cold War: Armstrong minute to Whitmore (problem with timetable for informing Giscard and Schmidt of decision about replacement of Polaris) [acquiring Trident] [declassified 2011]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/417 f214
Editorial comments: Although dated 24th July, it appears that this is a mistake. Whitmore's note on the document (top-right, first page) gives June as the date. The content of the minute and its position in the full file also suggest a date of 24th June. The full file from which this item is taken can be seen here.
