3536. Department’s 2651, July 17, 3 p.m. No CCC coffee will be shipped to the United States without the Department’s approval. I suggest the Department consider the desirability of shipping such coffee for storage in bonded warehouses in the United States for eventual use in relief areas provided of course that (1) Brazilian Government concurs and (2) shipments do not interfere with exportation of strategic materials or coffee under private contracts.
