Memorandum by Mr. Carl M. Marcy of the United States Delegation Staff of Advisers to the Principal Executive Officer of the Delegation (Sandifer)

Subject: Headquarters Agreement and Privileges and Immunities

Mr. Fahy and I discussed this morning the advisability of having our political officers informed as soon as possible that we want the Headquarters Agreement approved by the General Assembly without change. As you know, the Agreement has been approved by the Congress and it would be most unfortunate if it were necessary for us to go back to Congress next year with a different agreement. Political officers should be informed that the privileges and immunities granted to the United Nations in the Headquarters Agreement are most certainly broader than those which would be acceptable to our Congress next year.
