The Minister to the Norwegian Government in Exile (Biddle) to the Secretary of State

London, June 25, 1942—5 p.m.
[Received June 25—11:59 a.m.]

Norwegian Series No. 14. Your 9, May 20, 9 p.m. and my 9 May 22, 9 p.m. Norwegian Government indicates willingness that its original suggestion for a formal military agreement covering arrangement for unified command in Iceland should take the form of an exchange of notes.

Norwegian authorities are still studying certain aspects of this problem. They hope within the next few days to give me their conclusions. I shall then submit to you a tentative draft for a possible exchange of notes.
