The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
8248. For the Ambassador and Hooker from Berle. The President has approved the appointment of Ambassador Winant and Major General Frank Ross as delegates to the Inland Transport Conference opening in London on or about October 10. It is assumed that Clay, Hooker, Allison and Moats will be part of the delegation, together with anyone else the Ambassador may consider useful, which might well include Reed or his designee. In view of the informality of the Conference, probably the procedure, titles and so forth are not particularly important. At his discretion, Ambassador Winant may assign titles such as Adviser or Technical Adviser to them or any of them, if this appears useful in the proceedings. Please inform Department of complete U.S. delegation with respective designations.
It is assumed Embassy will appropriately inform Foreign Office of composition of U.S. delegation. [Berle.]
