The Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador (Nomura)
The Secretary of State presents his compliments to His Excellency the Japanese Ambassador and has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the Ambassador’s note of date October 3, 1941 in regard to the waiving of requirements in filing reports for consular officers and employees and other officers and employees of foreign governments.
The requirement under discussion is applicable to consular officers and employees and other officers and employees in the United States of all foreign governments, and the Secretary of State regrets that after careful and sympathetic consideration of the Japanese Embassy’s suggestion it has not been found feasible to make an exception in the case of Japanese officers and employees to the general rule.
