[Received April 26—9:18 a.m.]

558. Thank you for your telegram 293, April 25, 5 p.m., with which I could not agree more. I shall certainly do everything I can to put this across.

In the meantime it would be helpful if I could have for my own background information an idea of the dimensions of the deal you would like; what have you in mind as to the amount of rubber and tin we would want to have?

Kennedy
