800.79611 Pangborn-Herndon Flight/132: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Forbes)
162. Your 142, September 12, 6 p.m.,8 and 141, September 11, 6 p.m. Department has again conferred with supporters of flight and mother of Herndon. These regard early issuance of permit desirable. Department, giving solicitous consideration to points advanced in first paragraph of your 141, nevertheless believes that early issuance of permit would have greater advantages, taking into consideration all interests involved, than would deferred issuance. Department therefore authorizes and requests that, at your discretion as to moment and phraseology, and either on your own authority or on that of your Government, you present the further note for which the Foreign Office has asked requesting early issue of the permit.
