Your March 8, 3 p.m. For your strictly confidential information, we are unable to open conversations pending the enactment of the tariff bargaining bill now before Congress. If you feel that Minister of Customs expects a report from you on our attitude toward his overtures, you may tell him the above in confidence.
Please take up at an appropriate opportunity the subject of my instruction of January 30.
