The Secretary of State to Certain Chiefs of Mission 37

The Secretary of State presents his compliments to Their Excellencies and Messieurs the Chiefs of Mission and with reference to previous correspondence concerning the United Nations Conference on Food and Agriculture encloses, for the information of those who have been designated by their respective governments to participate in the meeting, copies of the Regulations which this Government proposes for adoption by the Conference.38 It is hoped that the Regulations here presented will be found to be satisfactory in their present form.

The attention of the Chiefs of Mission is invited to Chapter II, Article 8, concerning the Executive Committee which, it will be noted, is to be composed of the chairmen of the delegations. The Conference [Page 840] Secretariat is not, in all cases, informed of the names of the individuals designated as chairmen of their respective delegations. Accordingly, it will be appreciated if this information may be communicated to the Secretariat without delay, if this has not already been done.

Advantage is also taken of this opportunity to remind the Chiefs of Mission that the Conference Secretariat should be informed at the earliest possible date with regard to the names and designations of all stenographic and clerical personnel accompanying the delegations to Hot Springs, in order that appropriate accommodations may be arranged at The Homestead.

  1. Sent to the Chiefs of Mission of the countries invited to the Conference, except Ethiopia, India, Liberia, and the Philippine Commonwealth; these countries were sent individual letters.
  2. Not printed.
