The Secretary of State to the Consul at Leopoldville (Mallon)
Washington, December
20, 1941—4 p.m.
For Colonel Cunningham. In view of the fact that your information is adequate for our purposes and that consultation is desired, it is necessary for you to return immediately. In foreign eyes, you cannot assume observer status again since you have been put in a position beyond that of observer.
