Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by Mr. Cecil T. White of the Division of Commercial Policy and Agreements

[Washington,] May 10, 1941.

The Minister⁴⁰ telephoned to inquire whether we could give him our answer to the Iranian draft proposal of September 3, 1940.

I replied in the negative, but informed the Minister that the basic studies now have been completed and I thought it likely that our reply would be ready within the next two weeks.

40. Iranian Minister Mohammed Schayesteh.
