The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Turkey (Steinhardt)
Washington, October
28, 1943—11 p.m.
856. Careful consideration had already been given in appropriate quarters to the action proposed in your 1716, October 18, 11 a.m. and decision had been reached that under known conditions it could produce no more than a brief interruption of traffic. Upon receipt of your telegram, however, the proposal has been presented for further study and is now under reconsideration.
