The Secretary of State to the Acting Secretary of State (Grew)1

top secret

7016. For Acting Secretary of State only from Secretary Stettinius, for delivery to Assistant Secretary of State Eyes Only.

I hope you will hold up any action with regard to proposed joint statement on Italy2 prepared by the Combined Civil Affairs Committee. I have not seen the text but feeling here is that its issuance in its present form would be most unfortunate. Please cable full text and status.

All-State Horseshoe.
