- 1.
- Under the terms of reference of the subcommittee it is not entirely clear what its functions will be. The subcommittee may well devote itself largely to fact finding.
- 2.
- Even before receipt of your telegram it had been my intention to abstain from unnecessary participation (as I quite recognize the possible embarrassment) and to be guided by the instructions set forth in your 85.70 However, since we cannot foresee exactly the course of these discussions circumstances may arise at which avowed incapacity on my part to participate might be more embarrassing to you than discussion without commitment.
- 3.
- I trust that I correctly interpret the sense of your instructions.
Wilson
