The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Colombia (Washington)
59. Your 77, September 25, 6 p.m. You may say to the Minister for Foreign Affairs that at the request of the Colombian Chargé d’Affaires in Washington, the Secretary of State requested the Chairman of the Special Committee of the Senate to withhold from publication the Colombian defense plans. Senator Nye at once acceded to this request, which he considered entirely reasonable and the Department is informed that when the testimony is made public, all that portion of the hearings referring to the defense plans will be omitted.
