On July 1, 1953, Kermit Roosevelt received a communication that stated that the British Prime Minister “has approved the plan. The Embassy will be informed by the Foreign Office who will also give the Ambassador their views on an ‘acceptable oil settlement’.” The communication then inquired into the status of the detailed plans yet to be completed by officials of the Central Intelligence Agency.
