The Representative in Hungary (Schoenfeld) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received 3:08 p.m.]
637. Reference my airgram A–25 June 8.84 I have received note verbal from the Foreign Office dated Sept. 2485 from which following is quoted in official English text:
“The National Provisional Government of Hungary accepts with thanks the proposal of the United States Government to send a representative to Washington who could attend in an unofficial and informal [Page 876] way to Hungarian interests. The National Provisional Government of Hungary also takes cognizance of the fact that the presence of a representative under the above mentioned conditions would in no sense mean resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Hungary.
The name of the person to be nominated for this post will be submitted in the near future to the Government of the United States for approval.”
Sent to Department; repeated to London as 24.
