9. For Corrigan. Before leaving San José the President of the Commission furnished me with a letter to the Honduran Foreign Minister and notified him by telegram of my expected arrival. He also explained the purpose of the visit to the Minister of Nicaragua at San José.
At the airport at Managua Dr. Cordero Reyes said he was writing an air mail letter to the Under Secretary regarding President Somoza’s visit to Tegucigalpa. Dr. Cordero Reyes stated that it had always been his opinion that the boundary question with Honduras could not be settled by bilateral action and that the recent visit of the President of Nicaragua to Tegucigalpa had confirmed this opinion.
In an interview this morning with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Honduras he said that President Carías would give me an opportunity to present the geographic data on Monday at an hour to be indicated later.
