The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

115. For the Secretary and Under Secretary. Department’s 62, July 28, 8 p.m. May I be permitted to deny in clearest terms that anything I said to the Minister for Foreign Affairs is susceptible of the interpretation given by him. I have before me the original Spanish text of remarks prepared for use with him immediately before my visit and memorandum of my conversation drafted immediately thereafter and these support my unqualified denial set forth above.

Furthermore the Spanish text of your declaration which I handed him made your position absolutely clear.

Weddell
