The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)
3410. Mr. Boyce38 has reported to the Department his recommendations concerning the delisting of Condor, in accordance with his letter to you of October 30, 1942.37
The Department is in full agreement with these recommendations and is prepared to recommend deletion to the Interdepartmental Committee as soon as word is received from you that (1) the name will be officially changed, (2) the shares held by Ernesto Hoelck have been transferred to satisfactory persons, and (3) that a satisfactory third director has been named.
Point (3) above, though highly desirable, will not be considered a condition precedent to the delisting of Condor. However, points (1) and (2), as well as your own definite recommendations, are considered essential.
You are informed that the next supplement will be issued as of November 21 and the final meeting of the Committee, preparatory thereto, will take place Thursday, November 12. Therefore, if the delisting of Condor is to appear in the next supplement, it is necessary [Page 787] that your recommendations be received by the Department not later than the evening of November 11.
Do you think that a special announcement will be desirable?
