To the diplomatic officers of the United States.

Gentlemen: The department is informed through the American minister at Panama of the desire of the Government of Panama that in countries where there is a Panaman consul-general that official shall apply to the government concerned for the issuance of exequaturs to consuls of Panama and that in countries where there is no Panaman consul-general the consuls of Panama shall apply to the American minister to obtain their exequaturs without notification to the Department of State at Washington.

You will be governed accordingly.

I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

Robert Bacon,
Acting Secretary.
