The Ambassador in Brazil ( Caffery ) to the Secretary of State

Rio de Janeiro , January 25, 1940—4 p.m.
[Received 4:25 p.m.]

40. For the Under Secretary from Fenwick. Work of Committee appears sufficiently important to justify special appropriation in Department’s budget. Committee expected to be in permanent session [Page 269] except for brief recesses. Answer to request Government Uruguay to be completed next week after which subcommittees will study less urgent problems pending reply from governments regarding jurisdiction security zone. Am leaving here February 6 to meet necessary academic engagements after which I can continue work here if Department so desires. [Fenwick.]
