The Department of State to the Indian Agency General 47
Aide-Mémoire
The Government of the United States proposes that discussions should be begun at an early date with representatives of the Government of India concerning lend-lease termination and settlement, and the disposal of surplus property belonging to the United States Government and located within the territory of the Government of India. It would appear to be in the mutual interest of the Governments of the United States and of India that issues relating to the above subjects should be resolved as expeditiously and as completely as possible. The Government of the United States would, therefore, appreciate an early expression of opinion from the Government of India as to when such discussions might be begun.
- The Agency General was composed of certain members of the staff of the British Embassy; Sir Girja Shankar Bajpai was the Agent General for India.↩
