The Secretary of State to the Consul at Venice ( Corrigan )
For Ambassador Bullitt. As there is great need for permanent construction in certain unhealthful missions in Central America, and as there would seem to be no immediate prospect of initiating Moscow construction, I would like your comments by cable as to the possible diversion of the fund that was proposed to be used at Moscow. I believe that if we subsequently find it practicable to proceed with Moscow buildings we will have ample time to make good by future appropriations whatever we may now use in Central America for the immediate protection of our officers.
