[Received July 1—1:45 p.m.]
87. For the President and Phillips from Moley. Your telegram with objections to declaration received. Note that it is based on first draft sent you but assume no change in your opinion on basis of second draft sent this morning. Therefore Secretary of State is issuing following statement:
“The Secretary of State has received a reply from the President rejecting the declaration in its present form. He will issue a statement of American policy on the subject Monday.”6
Will notify you of reaction of French and the Secretary will govern his statement Monday in accordance therewith. Personally bow to your judgment with no inconsiderable relief. Regards. [Moley.]
