The Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia (Mitchell)
52. Your 79, October 3, 9 p.m. In reply to Mr. Barclay you are authorized informally to state that, since this Government’s decision respecting recognition will to a considerable extent depend upon Liberia’s attitude toward the report and recommendations of the committee of experts, I feel no useful purpose would be served by the suggestion that a special Liberian representative visit this country prior to the next meeting of the International Committee on Liberia.
You may add that this Government understands the report will be available soon and hopes the meeting of the committee on Liberia will be held in the near future.
