The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Iran ( Engert )
42. Your 71, April 14, 2 p.m. It is observed that you consider it unnecessary to address a note to the Foreign Office at the present time. However, in as much as it is only through such a communication that the matter can be brought to the personal attention of the Shah, who in the last analysis must make the final decision, it is desired that you stand ready without further reference to the Department to send a note embodying the suggestions in the final paragraph of the Department’s 35, April 3, 8 p.m. whenever the negotiations appear to be lagging.
In this connection and bearing in mind that the delay granted by the Iranians for negotiations will soon expire, the Department again calls your attention to the provisos in its 41, April 12, 5 p.m.95 concerning your proposed visit to Meshed.
