The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Germany (Dodd)
100. Your 129, August 18, 1 p.m., and 130, August 19, noon. I do not feel that it would be advisable for the Department to take any initiative or act directly in this matter. The implications of the local situation are better known to you than to the Department and I rely on your judgment to deal with this question with the minimum of embarrassment to yourself or to this Government. It is suggested that consultation with the British and French chiefs of mission in Berlin might be helpful to you in determining your course of action.
