63. Department’s 40, July 27, 6 p.m. I had an interview with President this afternoon and left with him a copy of note. I referred to opinion of Minister of Industry that decree is not sustainable and to Colombia-Venezuelan arbitration and urged rescission of decree. He seemed impressed and promised a decision early next week.
