The Secretary of State to President Roosevelt 17
My Dear Mr. President: The Minister of Yugoslavia recently called upon the Under Secretary and informed him by instruction of his Government that the Government of Yugoslavia was happy to give its agrément to the appointment of Mr. Biddle as Ambassador to Yugoslavia. At the time of the Yugoslav Minister’s call, he requested the agrément of this Government to his appointment as Ambassador.
Since it has been agreed to raise the respective Legations to Embassies, there would seem to be no reason why the appointment of Mr. Constantin Fotitch as Ambassador of Yugoslavia would not be acceptable. If you concur in this opinion, I shall inform the Yugoslav Government of your approval.
Faithfully yours,
- Returned to the Secretary of State by President Roosevelt with the notation in the margin, “OK, F. D. R.”↩
