The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)

1987 From Berle. I fully appreciate the reason for the first sentence in your 2051 of March 14. We think we have covered the Canadian angle by an understanding that in the event of such a trip, we would drop off en route and quietly discuss matters with the Canadians. The British are informed and have agreed to this. Do you have other reasons which we should consider?

We expect to be in a position shortly to answer the other suggestion in your 2051, namely, a separate informal meeting in Washington to discuss radio aids on a technical level. [Berle.]
