- Your telegram June 3, 5 p.m. Unless Edwards’ attitude at meeting Saturday is such as to force me to take action, I shall arrange for his pending motion to lie over to an adjourned meeting Monday afternoon. I do not think that situation here warrants attempting any further delay. I hope you will be able to make your final communication to me before Monday morning.

- After passage of termination resolution Edwards will doubtless appeal. Several days will be required to certify appeal and to dispose of other business of Commission, but after that is over I am sure that neither Edwards nor Freyre will be willing to remain here during period of the appeal, and the Commission will have to adjourn to meet at some future date. I shall arrange to get American personnel out of the territory as quickly as possible after passage of the resolution. Secretary General Stabler will take Commission records to Washington and I shall direct my legal advisers to proceed there with American delegation’s files. I shall return to the Canal Zone unless you desire otherwise. Lassiter.
