Algiers, November 8, 1943—6 p.m.
[Received November 9—8:17 a.m.]

1946. For [From] Murphy. Dunn informed us that incident to establishment at the Moscow Conference of the Advisory Council to the Allied Control Commission for Italy which will include a representative of French Committee National Liberation latter has not been advised formally of this decision. Massigli95 referred to this omission in his conversation with Dunn at Algiers.

Dunn suggested that the Department be informed and that the Department might wish, in concert with the British and Soviet Governments, to formally advise Massigli of the decision and to extend to the French an appropriate invitation to appoint the French representative. It is recommended that, if approved, Macmillan, Bogomolov96 and myself be authorized to call together on Massigli and extend the invitation. Please telegraph.

Sent to Department, repeated to London and Moscow. [Murphy.]
