The Secretary of State to the Minister in Egypt ( Fish )
40. Personal for the Minister. Your 69, June 21, 9 a.m. The President has decided to appoint you as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary near the Government of Saudi Arabia in addition to your present duties at Cairo and the agrément of the Saudi Arabian Government to this appointment is being sought through the American Embassy and the Saudi Arabian Legation in London. Assuming that your appointment is agreeable to the Saudi Arabian Government it is desired that you make plans to proceed to Jedda to present your credentials as soon as practicable, which would presumably be soon after Hare’s10 arrival about October 2. Please telegraph your views as to the proposed procedure and furnish an estimate of the expenses to be incurred, including the cost of your travel, of one secretary and of such other suite as you consider indispensable.
- Raymond A. Hare, appointed Second Secretary of Legation in Egypt.↩
