The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Davies) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 10—2:15 p.m.]
165. Your 85, July 8, 6 p.m. Foreign Office has just applied to Embassy with a request for explanations regarding the Department’s unwillingness to include in proposed text the paragraph concerning exportations which was included in [article] I of the agreement between the United States and the Netherlands. They would like to have this provision with the natural exception of the last sentence included in the proposed agreement and, as in the case of the other provisions of section 1, urge that it be taken over in the bilateral form. They state that they are anxious to have the agreement as nearly identical with the Netherlands agreement as possible. Would appreciate the Department’s suggestions on these points.
