The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:43 p.m.]
2195. The British Ambassador has furnished me a copy of his note to the Foreign Office of June 15 transmitting a “draft outline of an international convention and international authority for its administration.” This document relates international cooperation in air transport and the note states that it was agreed during Lord Beaverbrook’s discussions with Dr. Berle that it represented the principles which the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States consider would constitute a suitable basis for discussion at an international conference on civil aviation. The note concludes by stating that the British Government would welcome any comments which the Soviet Government may wish to offer in this paper.
