The American Representative to the French Committee of National Liberation at Algiers (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

8. From Murphy. Department’s 2097, November 9, 8 p.m. Massigli has now handed me a communication acknowledging tripartite invitation to French Committee of National Liberation to designate a French representative to Advisory Council for Italy. Communication adds that this acceptance must not be considered as committing the French Committee on the Italian question in its ensemble and more particularly with respect to Government of Marshal Badoglio.

The communication states that French representative to the Council [Page 431] will be designated shortly. If the Council meets before such designation Massigli has been authorized to represent the Committee.

Sent to Department, repeated to London. [Murphy.]

Wilson
