The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 21—4:18 p.m.]
301. Department’s 190, November 20, 6 p.m. Embassy discussed matter this morning with Deputy Vergueiro César author of the bill and he agrees in principle with the substitution of the phrase “with the Government of the United States of America” for the phrase “with the interested parties or with the association which represents them”. He states that although he saw no objection to the substitution he wished to obtain the opinions of the Minister of Finance and that he would inform the Embassy tomorrow concerning the results of his conversation with the latter. In the meantime he assures me that the bill will not be voted on until he has consulted with the Minister of Finance.
Embassy has just been informed that the Minister of Finance has already indicated that he will approve the substitution in question.
