Actually, it's not obligatory that it go to NORAD. When I say the States, I mean Washington.
As far as NORAD is concerned, those confidence- and security-building measures that we—by “we” I mean the international community first and foremost, the States and then the Soviet Union—started elaborating in the early 1970s eventually included some non-obligatory steps, which are still being undertaken on both sides, that might include NORAD as well. As a matter of fact, we recently had bilateral military staff talks with Canada. They were on January 21 here in Ottawa. The Canadian side specifically raised the issue of those notifications, but in only one particular respect. They expressed gratitude on behalf of NORAD, for sharing notifications of the flights with NORAD. We were not obliged to do that, but still we did that.
