The Minister in the Netherlands (Gordon) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 24—2:35 p.m.]
20. Department’s 17, February 23, 7 p.m. Have conveyed message to Foreign Minister who has no objection to consultation. I had not requested text of proposed revision for transmission to Department as I assumed it had been forwarded from London. I confirmed this by telephone conversation with London Embassy from which I further understood that Viles5 has fully informed the Department as to the subcommittee’s deliberations. I take it therefore in the absence of further instructions that after examination of the text of the proposed revision the Department will send me further specific views for presentation to the Foreign Office which will initiate the consultation in question.
