418. Dept is of opinion that replacement parts for lend-lease equipment (as distinct from additional parts or new equipment) should not be withheld from other American Republics. It is accordingly considered desirable that information contained in message to Military Mission from Caribbean Defense Command (urtel 632, Oct 26, 5 p.m.) be made available to Nicaraguan authorities notwithstanding present political situation.
