The Ambassador in Turkey (MacMurray) to the Secretary of State

73. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador returned yesterday from an elaborately and successfully concealed absence of 3 days during which they visited Cyprus for conference with Eden at his invitation. Despite rather sensational speculations [Page 834] as to this conference I understand it dealt not with any new projects but with the opportunities and modalities for carrying out plans previously discussed.
