On September 30, NATO Secretary General Spaak introduced a draft statement on Cyprus in the North Atlantic Council. The Spaak statement, as modified by the Council, noted NATO concern with the ongoing dispute in Cyprus and endorsed the presence of the Turkish representative on Cyprus within the limited role assigned him under the Macmillan Plan. The statement also reiterated the desirability of a three-power conference on Cyprus. For text of the Spaak paper, see The Cyprus Question, pages 10–11.
