Hopkins Papers: Telegram
The Minister in Egypt (Kirk) to the Presidents Special Assistant (Hopkins), Temporarily at Tehran1
secret
With reference to my message of yesterday Chinese Chargé2 has just called to say that he has cabled text of document to Chungking with instructions to hold release pending flash from him.
I told him that I had been instructed to notify him when I received word from Tehran of date of release. As matters now stand therefore texts of document in question are in Foreign Offices in London and Chungking, but unless you have sent text direct there is none in Washington. Do you wish me to cable text in advance to State Department to be held pending instructions as to date of release or are you taking action in Tehran?
