The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 3—11:25 a.m.]
1911. Department’s 1139, October 2, 11 p.m. Since all Americans who have expressed the desire to leave England have been substantially evacuated, and since the emergency section of the Embassy created in accordance with the Department’s strictly confidential instruction of March 21, 1939 is being reduced with a consequent availability of staff and office quarters for other Embassy purposes, arrangements have already been completed to begin the issuance of quota immigration visas on October 16. Unless war conditions worsen an average of 1,000 quota visa applicants will receive appointments each month.
