The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

4130. This morning the Chancellor telephoned me to say that his Government was glad to accept the drafting changes asked for in your 3613, September 5, midnight.

He suggested that there be an exchange of letters between Mr. Eden, the Foreign Secretary, and myself to establish formal acceptance. I am sending the texts they suggest to you in a separate message.

You may want to suggest some other method of confirmation.

The British are anxious to have a simultaneous release timed with our release from Washington. Their release will be in the form of a White Paper. They are asking their Embassy at Washington to arrange the timing with the Department.
