The Representative of the President (Corrigan) to the Secretary of State
[Received 2:14 p.m.]
24. The following message has been received from the American Ambassador at Bogotá:
“Venezuelan Ambassador18 submitted to his Government draft note proposed by Minister for Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica to be sent by Mediatory Commission to Honduran Government. Gil Borges replied following telegram which Dr. Rodríguez requests that you transmit to Hornibrook19 together with your comments in order that he may inform Zúñiga:
‘Zúñiga’s proposal note might create friction between Honduras and Mediatory Commission. It seems more prudent to me to continue conversations between representatives mediators Nicaragua and Honduras in Washington or San José. I spoke to Duggan20 on this matter. It is desirable you exchange ideas with Corrigan’.
Venezuelan Ambassador would appreciate your keeping him informed.”
