The Assistant to the Special Representative of the President (Ocheltree) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:50 p.m.]
73. Referring to my telegram No. 72, June 10, 4 p.m. The President of the Commission has not yet made the statement to press.
I suggested yesterday to Dr. Rodriguez that it should not be difficult for the Commission to obtain agreement to extend the period of non-purchase of armaments by addressing notes to both Governments revealing that the acceptance of either Government would not be binding until accepted by the other. I explained that I would have to refer this suggestion to Dr. Corrigan for his approval. Dr. Rodriguez seemed to be interested in the suggestion and said he would discuss it with the Chancellor on the train today from San José to Cartagena.
Dr. Cordero Reyes left yesterday by plane for Nicaragua.
