The Ambassador in Spain (Hayes) to the Secretary of State

3405. Jordana told me this morning that the Council of Ministers has approved our request for landing rights for American commercial airlines. Spanish Government proposes to create a special commission with full powers to agree to details, such as particular airports to be used, number and types of planes, et cetera. He would be glad if I named a representative or representatives of the Embassy to meet with this commission, and he was anxious that details be arranged as quickly as possible. I said I would do so.

I suggest Department inform me as promptly as possible details requested in my 3094, October 23, 6 p.m.,65 as well as any other details it can. I also suggest that Colonel Cousland, recently appointed Assistant Military Air Attaché familiarize himself with American end of this subject before he leaves United States.

Hayes
