825.5151/370
The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Philip)
Sir: Reference is made to your despatch No. 422 of November 25 last concerning the foreign exchange situation in Chile.
With respect to your request to be instructed whether, in future representations, to group American blocked funds to include all such funds, rather than to single out one or several of them, you are informed that the Department concurs in your opinion that it would be generally preferable to follow the former course. You are requested, therefore, to take such action in the future in making representations to the Chilean Government regarding blocked accounts unless the Department expressly indicates otherwise.
Very truly yours,
