740.0011 European War 1989/13613: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Casablanca (Russell)
234. Personal for Murphy from the Under Secretary. Your 378, August 2, 9 p.m. You may be assured that in our present discussions and studies relating to defense needs of this country we are bearing in mind the considerations presented in your telegram under reference. I hope shortly that we shall be in a position to furnish you with more concrete evidence of our desire to resist the forces of aggression in whatever territory they may be operating. In your conversations you may assure General Weygand that the developing situation in North Africa and his needs are not being overlooked. [Welles.]
