The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain ( Hayes )
970. The Department and BEW request that the following information with respect to tankers nominated to load at Aruba on May 19 and 20 for mainland Spain be furnished urgently: (1) Names of tankers. (2) Cargoes nominated. (3) Sailing dates from Spanish ports proposed.
It is suggested that no sailings of tankers for loading on these dates be approved pending arrival of further instructions, in as much as the probable reduction in program limit to 100,000 tons for the second quarter described in Department’s 958 of April 27 would necessitate limiting liftings on the late May and early June loading dates.
