Concerning proposed letters of assurance to be issued by the British Minister [Ambassador] at Washington, D. C, for shipments from United States to Greece, does the Department of State approve that requests for permits to import from United States pass solely through the local British and French consulates? It appears advisable as a matter of record that such requests should first pass through our consulates.
