The Ambassador in Spain (Hayes) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 19—5:45 p.m.]
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.
