The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom ( Winant )
164. You may inform Foreign Office in connection with your 11579 of December 3193 that Department much appreciates cooperative spirit of British authorities and Cable and Wireless in connection with improvement of communications between Saudi Arabia and the United States but that it wishes to continue to consider proposals for a radio station to be established on mainland and operated by Saudi Arabian Government. Therefore it will be appreciated if assurances may be obtained that British Government will interpose no objection to establishment of direct circuit between United States and Saudi Arabia and operation of radio-telegraph station by Saudi Government. (See Department’s 19, January 1, 1945).
