The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Turkey (Steinhardt)
Washington, January 2,
1945—7 p.m.
11. Your 1 of January 1. Alternative 2 is wholly unsatisfactory to the Department and FEA.20 Early signature of agreement with paragraph 4 of proposed exchange of notes incorporated as a provision thereof is desired (our 7 of January 1). If you believe further discussion of notes in form originally proposed would be fruitful after signature of agreement, Department would have no objection to your alternative 1.
Our 7 of January 1 was sent with expectation that basis there authorized would prevent further delay in concluding agreement.
