The Minister in Iran (Dreyfus) to the Secretary of State

Tehran, November 27, 1943—5 p.m.
[Received December 4—3:25 p.m.]

1070. Prime Minister told me yesterday that British Minister had informed him two British oil representatives were already here to negotiate for Baluchistan concession (my 1065, November 15, and Department’s 584, November 23) on same terms as those of old Amiranian Oil Company concession.46 I told Soheily that I had communicated with Department and I thought American oil company representatives might be expected soon. He expressed pleasure and repeated his interest in having concession go to America.
