[Received 6:47 p.m.]
163. Department’s number 88, June 12, 6 p.m. I have advised the Nicaraguan Government as instructed and now have the reply of the Minister for Foreign Affairs as follows:
“By instruction of the President, I am pleased to inform you that my Government sees with the most justified pleasure the realization of the preliminary studies of a work which, if executed, would mean for Nicaragua the assurance of a happy and brilliant future; and that consequently, in the fulfillment of a patriotic duty, grants the requested permission in the most ample form.”
The Minister for Foreign Affairs requests that this exchange of telegrams be made public in Washington and Managua at the same time.8
