1200. Your 2166, December 4, 4 p.m. For Anderson:
Proposed visit to Vienna not approved. Under no circumstances should you enter enemy territory at any time without permission from here. Suggest you remain on in Switzerland sufficient length of time to enable Apponyi to get in touch with you should he so desire and then return to Holland where I presume you can operate more successfully. Please let me have your views in this regard.
