The Acting Chairman of the American Delegation (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 9—4:43 a.m.]
318. In considering our 315 and 316 you will appreciate that the preliminary draft of the resolution must be worked out in private conferences involving a dozen or more delegations and eventually perhaps in public session. Hence we will need room for negotiation. In view of this and of the urgency of the matter we would appreciate it if you could give us any general views on the Simon draft and on our comment by tomorrow Sunday and we will keep you advised as important drafting changes are worked out here. We shall be continuing discussions with the British today regarding the resolution.
