The secretary general has inquired whether I shall sign the final act. He states that it is not necessary but he believes it would be desirable on the ground that we have taken a representative part in meetings of the conference. No commitments or engagements are involved.
If the Department desires me to sign I respectfully request authorization to do so. Full powers are not necessary for the purpose.
