The Department of State to the British Embassy

On November 16, 1936, the United States Government submitted a tentative list of products on which it would request duty concessions in a trade agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom.

At the request of the United Kingdom Government for a more specific indication of possible United States desiderata there is submitted the attached list of products81 on which, on the basis of present studies, concessions will probably be requested, with an indication of the nature of these concessions. This list has been formulated without the consultation with the trade which is required by law and must, of course, be considered as tentative pending such consultation.

There are some additional products on which tentative studies prior to consultation with the trade have not yet been completed. This may make it necessary to submit later some additions to the attached list.82

The attached list supplements the list of products which was submitted on March 2, 1937, and revised May 18, 1937.

  1. Not attached to file copy.
  2. Another list was submitted on October 5, 1937.
