The Secretary of State to the American Representatives on the Organizing Committee for the International Monetary and Economic Conference (Davis and Sackett)
46. For Davis. Your 54, December 3, 9 p.m. As regards next meeting Experts Committee, although we have held many interesting discussions on the report submitted and on the problems before the Experts Committee, no actual decisions regarding prospective American policy have been formulated. You appreciate the difficulty of doing this quickly, in view of the change of Administration. It is likely therefore that if the experts meet again in January the American representatives will not be in any better position to present official decisions than they were at the first meeting. The Department feels that other governments should understand this situation.
However, if the decision of the Organizing Committee for a January meeting be maintained it would be helpful to have the meeting as late in January as may be acceptable to the other members of the Preparatory Commission.
