The Representative of the President (Corrigan) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:29 p.m.]
34. Referring to the Department’s telegram No. 26, April 6, 4 p.m.25 Zúñiga Montúfar is opposed to visiting Tegucigalpa with me at this time. He is definitely of the opinion that the Commission has to meet at San José before further action of any kind can be taken. The question of visits would have to be taken up by the Commission at its meeting. He wants to deal “categorically” formally with the question of the meeting by addressing letters to Dr. Rodríguez and myself inquiring when it would be convenient to come to San José. For us this would be a formality since our readiness to convene has been made clear, see page 10 Legation’s despatch No. 683, March 16,26 but the procedure which he contemplates does not take into account Rodríguez’s views as expressed. The next move must depend upon the attitude of the Venezuelan representative. Panama was only suggested as a place of meeting with the idea that it would be easier to get Rodríguez to come here than to San José.
