We wish it to be perfectly clear to you that, while we are making all necessary arrangements at this end of the prompt release of a gas oil cargo for Spain for the Zorroza from Aruba and for the Campilo from Port Arthur, neither of these cargoes will be released until and unless we have a reply to the Department’s number 69 of January 31 as requested in the last paragraph of that cable and giving the assurances requested therein.
