The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Greece (Aldridge)
45. Your 76, August 31, 6 p.m.39 Since the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, largely because the Greek Minister of Communications desired it (as was reported in your 39, May 25, 1 p.m., and 41, May 28, 6 p.m.), went to the trouble and the expense originally of presenting a bid, the Department hopes the Greek Government will afford an opportunity to the corporation to compete for the telephone contract at the present time on a basis of equality with the other interested firms.
The foregoing should be brought by you to the attention of the appropriate authorities.
