McFARLANE (Z.M~ ~ SUBJECT: Second Protocol Amending the Convention Between the United States and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital Issue To transmit to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification, the Second Protocol Amending the Convention between the United States and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital. Facts A Second Protocol has been signed at Washington on March 28, 1984, Amending the Convention between the United States and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed at Washington on September 26, 1980, as amended by a Protocol signed at Ottawa on June 14, 1983. Discussion The Social Security Amendments of 1983 were enacted since the negotiation of the convention and first protocol. They provide in part that social security benefits paid to nonresident aliens henceforth will be subject to an effective 15 percent withholding tax. The Canadian Government has requested that the pending convention be amended to exempt Canadian residents from such withholding. The second protocol would amend Article XVIII (Pensions and Annuities) of the convention, so as to provide that .social security benefits paid by one party to residents of the other "shall be taxable only in that other State." However, United States citizens resident in Canada will continue to be taxable to the extent provided under United ·states law.

The second protocol was signed at Washington on March 28, 1984. The convention and first protocol are awaiting consideration by the Senate. Since the convention and first protocol were negotiated, new social security legislation has been enacted. The Social Security Amendments of 1983 (Pub. L. 98-21, 97 Stat. 65, Apr. 20, 1983) provide in part that social security benefits paid to nonresident aliens henceforth win be subject to an effective 15 percent withholding tax. As the legislative history makes clear, however, Congress did not intend to override the treatment of such benefits in existing income tax treaties (1983 o.s. Code Cong. & Adm. News 143, 169). The Canadian government has requested that the pending income tax convention be amended to exempt Canadian residents from such withholding. The President, The White Bouse. J . • • . ------. _ __ .. - · -: ~ · -- · •. ~!~;!;'.~~~:~ . ~- '- . ·~ i :.: .. ~ - 2 - Under the second protocol, each party agrees not to tax social security benefits it pays to residents of the other country. The United States, however, will exempt only those Canadian residents who are not Onited States citizens: Onited States citizens will continue to be taxable to the extent provided under United States law. In addition, each party agrees to tax its own residents on only one half the social security benefits they derive from the other country. The second protocol, like the convention and the first protocol, is subject to ratification. It will enter into force upon the exchange of instruments of ratification, which will take place at Ottawa, and shall thereupon have effect in accordance with Article XXX (Entry into Force) of the convention. A technical memorandum explaining in detail the provisions of the second protocol is being prepared by the Department of the Treasury and will be submitted separately to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. The Department of the Treasury, with the cooperation of the Department of State, was primarily responsible for the negotiation of the second protocol. It has the approval of both Departments. Respectfully submitted, TO THE SENATE OF THE 1JNITED STATES: I transmit herewith, for Senate advice and consent to ratification, a Second Protocol, signed at Washington on March 28, 1984, Amending the Convention between the United States and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed at Washington on September 26, 1980, as amended by a Protocol signed at Ottawa on June 14, 1983. I also transmit the report of the Department of State with respect to the second protocol. The Social Security Amendments of 1983 were enacted since the negotiation of the convention and first protocol. They provide in part that social ·security benefits paid to nonresident aliens henceforth will be subject to an effective 15 percent withholding tax. The Canadian Government has requested that the pending convention be amended to exempt Canadian residents from such withholding. The second protocol would amend Article XVIII (Pensions and Annuities) of the convention, so as to pro~ide that social security benefits paid by one party to residents of the other "shall be taxable only in that other State.• Bowever, United States citizens resident in Canada will continue to be taxable to the extent provided under United States law. ~- ---. -.-·-:-·- . .. -· i--~=~\~~~< '; :~ .. , . . ~ - 2 - It is most desirable that this second proto~ol, together with the convention and first protocol, be considered by the Senate as soon as possible and that the Senate give advice and consent to ratification of the convention and two amending protocols. . .• ".~ · · · ...... ~ :~ THE WHITE HOUSE, . ···--.--···--·.-- ···- ·-· SECOND PROTOCOL AMENDING THE CONVENTION BRTWP.EN THF.

PRESID~---s-K'E~l' The following was sent to Burt from Medas: Ambassador Gottlieb gave me the following at approximately 2:00 p.m. this afternoon (May 7, 1984): The Ambassador was not in the car at the time of the incident. He had asked the driver to meet him at Sheridan Circle. The driver had parked the Ambassador's limosine and was standing outside the car. Shortly before Gottlieb arrived (approximately 30-seconds to 1 minute), a car drove by, swerved and stopped in front of the Ambassador's car. Two black males got out of the car, said "hold it," and shot at the driver. The men then drove off. The driver, who had not been hit, had been able to get the license number of the car and was in the process of trying to call the police when Gottlieb arrived. The police located the car in Georgetown and arrested the occupants. Gottlieb speculates that perhaps he was not the target of the assault since the car had been parked near another Embassy on Sheridan Circle (the Turkish Embassy?) . Gottlieb had no further information. His driver had been picked up by the police shortly after the incident and was unavailable. This incident is being downplayed by State and Embassy. They are not certain whether any bullets were actually fired. In fact, when they arrested the men involved they were found with toy pistols in their possession. 3735 MEMORANDUM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL ACTION May 9, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR ROBERT C.

POINDEXTER FROM: TYRUS W. COBB?1 ~[\fl·· SUBJECT: Canadian Disarmament Proposal Pierre Trudeau approached the U.S. Government last month to indicate that he intended to submit formally his "peace initiatives" to the Conference on Disarmament (CD) in Geneva . . !11 response to our strong demarche, Trudeau agreed not to submit his proposals to the CD, but to transmit them as suggested initia tives via letters to General Secretary Chernenko and President Reagan. The Canadians requested a meeting with Bud to formally present Trudeau's letter to Reagan. At my urging, they, instead, presented the memorandum to Rick Burt and Jim Dobbins at State, but have requested an appointment to present a copy of the letter to the NSC. You have tentatively a~reed to receive Ambassador Gotlieb on Friday, May 11, at 3:00 p.m. in the Sit Room. Matlock, Lehman and Cobb will sit in. I believe that while we do not wish to give any impetus to Trudeau's proposals, hoping that they may fall into a state of suspended animation after his resignation in early June, we do need to demonstrate our appreciation for the Canadian transmission of this proposal via the letter route. Further, at this sensitive time in East-West relations, we also need to ensure that none of our Allies perceive us as inflexible with respect to our negotiating stance. Talking points are provided at Tab A. Ambassador Gotlieb will be accompanied by the Political Counselor, Jeremy Kinsman and Pol~~Officer, Ra~~ysyshyn. Ron Lehinan and Jack M~lock concur.

We were concerned for your safety following the unusual "shooting incident" the other day. We do appreciate the Canadian Government not presenting Prime Minister Trudeau's peace initiatives at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. We will take a close look at your proposals and get back to you as soon as possible. I understand that Canada will send a similar letter to General Secretary Chernenko. What sort of response would you anticipate? I must tell you that we are frankly baffled by the repre- hensible behavior of the Soviet Union recently. It appears that Moscow is intent on doing nothing that would contribute to the perception of harmonious relations between the superpowers, and are determined not to do anything that they feel would assist President Reagan's reelection. Their decision to boycott the Olympics should be seen as yet another ridiculous example of this policy. Could you provide me a prediction on the direction of Canadian politics after Trudeau's resignation? (NOTE: Conservative Opposition Leader Mulroney will visit the President on June 21. Mulroney's commanding lead in the polls over the Liberals appears to be disintegrating.) DECLASSIFIED /£a&/s.5GP NLS foo ---o'I ~t;l/.3 BY Ur:[' I NARA.

TRUDEAU'S COMMENTS INDICATE T HAT THERE IS SOME FEELING IN CANADA THAT OPPOSITION WITHIN THE USG TO 0 THE LALONDE CANDIDACY IS INTENDED TO MA KE CANADA P AY FOR I ITS NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY. WHILE IT IS ENCOUR AGI NG TO SEE INCREASED AWARENESS WITHIN THE GOC THAT POLICIES s INIMICAL TO U. S. INTERESTS MA Y ENTAIL REAL COSTS TO CANADA, THE EMBASSY DOES NOT BELIE VE TH AT IT WO ULD BE GENERALLY HELPFUL TO LEAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT OUR OP P OSITION TO L ALONDE IS THE RESULT OF A LI NGERING GR~DGE OVER THE NEP. SHOULD THE SELECTION OF PAYE NOT EVE NTU ATE AND THE ADMINISTRATION DECIDE TO OPPOSE THE LAL ONDE CANDIDACY, WE HOPE THAT OUR POSITION CAN BE E XP LA INED E TO CANADA IN WAYS WHICH COUNTERACT THAT IMPRESSION. x END COMMENT. 0 9.

IT GIVES ME GREAT PERSONAL PLEASURE T O RECOMMEND MARC LALONDE FOR THE SECRET ARY GENERAL POSITION. HE HAS E SERVED WITH DISTINCTION IN THE CANAD!AN CABINET SINCE 1972. DURIN~ THAT TIME HE HAS FILLED POSTS SUCH AS x MINISTER OF NATIONAL HEALTH AND WELFARE , MINISTER OF D ENERGY , MINES AND RESOURCES AND MINISTER OF FINANCE , WHICH ALL HAVE RELEVANCE TO OECD ACTIVITIES. HE HAS HAD I EXPOSURE TO THE WOR K OF INTERNATONAL INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE DECO AND THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. I s BELIEVE HE HAS THE KIND OF BACKGROUND WHICH WILL ENABLE HIM TO PROVIDE INFORMED. PR AGMATIC AND VIGOROUS LEADERSHIP TO THE DECO, AND TO ENJOY ACCESS TO THE SENIOR LEVELS OF MEMBER GOVERNMENTS. I KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT HAD AGREED TO SUPPORT JEAN CLAUDE PAYE OF FRANCE FOR THE SECRETARY GENERAL POSI TION BEFORE MARC DECIDED TO LET HIS NAME STAND. CANADA E HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR MR. PAYE, AND MR. LALONDE ' S x CANDIDACY IS NOT MEANT TO REFLECT ON HIS ABILITIES. RATHER IT S7EMS FROM OUR BELIEF, SHARED BY OTHERS, THAT D AT THIS JUNCTURE THE DECO WOULD SE BEST SERVED SY SOMEONE WITH WIDE AND SUCCESSFUL MINISTERIAL EXPERIENCE. MOMEN I TUM APPEARS TO BE BUILDING IN THIS DIRECTION; SEVERAL s COUNTRIES HAVE OPENLY DECLARED THEIR SUPPORT FOR MARC IN RECENT DAYS AND OTHERS HAVE PRIVATELY ASSURED US THAT THEY WILL ENDORSE HIM. SHOULD MR. PAYE WITHDRAW I WOULD HOPE, AS ALLAN MACEACHEN HAS INDICATED TO GEORGE SHULTZ, THAT YOUR COUNTRY COULD GIVE MARC LALONDE' S CANDIDACY THE MOST SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. I AM FULLY CONFIDENT THAT A SUCCESSFUL L ALONDE CANDIDACY WOULD SE A VERY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE OECD AS AN INSTITUTION AND FOR T HE OPEN MULTILATERAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM WE SEEK IN COMMON TO PRESERVE AND STRENGTHEN. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SHORTLY AT THE CERE MONIES COMMEMORATING THE ALLIED LANDINGS IN NORMANDY AND AT THE LONDON SUMMIT. YOURS SINCERELY, WITH PER SONAL REGARDS, PIERRE . END TEXT.
