[Received November 30—9:45 a.m.]
69. Referring to my telegram No. 65, November 16, 9 a.m., in extended conversation with new Foreign Minister yesterday I asked: [Page 308]
- (1)
- whether Government was ready to undertake direct conversations;
- (2)
- to extend 90-day period sufficiently to allow adequate preparation of case for courts; or (3) to suggest an alternative solution of Standard Oil Company problem.
The Foreign Minister replied he was not familiar with recent developments but would present my inquiries to Junta in a friendly spirit and hoping for a prompt and constructive reply.
