The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Great Britain (Wright)

905. Your No. 1144, July 29, 8 p.m.81 You may lay before the Foreign Office this Government’s suggestion that the latter part of the first paragraph of the text of the announcement quoted in Department’s No. 773 of July 23, 5 p.m.82 be amended as follows: “has now received the formal approval of all four of the Governments involved and the completion of the organization of the International Consortium awaits only the final adoption of the agreement by the representatives of the various groups at their first meeting scheduled to be held at New York next October” and ask whether this will not meet its objection to the original text. British Embassy here addressed a memorandum to the Department on this question on August 7th83 to which a reply along above lines is being made today.84
