[Received August 9—11:23 a.m.]
64. Your telegram No. 36, August 5, 6 p.m. I have only this morning been able to see the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He expressed great pleasure at receiving your message and asked me to thank you very cordially. He said we could always depend on Iran as eager to work in the interest of peace even though it might require sacrifices on [Page 768] her part, as was the case in the settlement of the boundary dispute with Iran [Iraq].
Department’s circular August 4, 1 p.m. The Foreign Minister regrets the delay but hopes to let me have statement in a few days.
