The Representative of the President (Corrigan) to the Secretary of State

11. Referring to the Department’s telegram No. 7, January 24, 6 p.m., Dr. Rodríguez after consultation with his Government states that he will be unable to leave Bogotá to come to Panama at this time owing to the delicate status of negotiations which he is conducting with the Colombian Government or to visit the disputant countries “even should it be determined that it is advisable”.

I shall confer with the Costa Rican member on his arrival here and communicate his views to the Department.

Corrigan
