851.01/535: Telegram
The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 29—11:10 a.m.]
3595. Embassy’s telegram 3300, June 13, 11 p.m. Eden is seeing General de Gaulle today and personally handing him the memorandum given Lord Halifax as subsequently amended by the Department. We understand that the Foreign Office is pleased with the [Page 532] amended draft and that Eden will strongly urge General de Gaulle “to accept it” as the basis of relationship between us and the Free French. We are told that as requested by the Department he will caution the General to secrecy and to that end is handing him a French translation to obviate the necessity for the General to show it to the less discreet members of his entourage.
