The Chargé in Iran (Merriam) to the Secretary of State

1. My 62, December 16, noon, and the Department’s 50, December 23, noon [6 p.m.]. Yesterday Hart and Clapp and the Iranian [Page 736] Government signed two concession agreements, one relating to oil exploration and development, the other to construction and operation of pipe line. Will telegraph brief summary later.

It proved unnecessary to act on paragraph 3 of No. 50. Crain22 was present in a purely notarial capacity.
