The Acting United States Representative at the United Nations (Wadsworth) to the Department of State

confidential

48. Re Chinese representation. Ramsbotham (UK) called this afternoon concerning formula for handling Chinese representation at a resumed session GA (USUN 33, July 13). He said formula discussed with USUN officers July 12 is agreed to by Foreign Office. Ramsbotham added that this was without commitment concerning ninth session. Ross said he thought UK Prime Minister had settled this matter. Ramsbotham said he had not really committed himself.

If there were to be special rather than resumed session Foreign Office would prefer reference to “this special session” rather than “third special session”.

We are preparing comments on Department’s airgram CA–412, July 16.
