The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in the United Kingdom (Gallman)

9601. For EITO Delegation, reDepts 9526, November 13, 7 p.m. You will appreciate that Department does not wish U.S.–U.K. replies, to Soviet notes transmitted until after all delegations have been informally advised by Chairman of Main Committee that informal discussions will be held outside of Committee to arrive at acceptable text.

Please advise urgently if British have approved of such procedure and if Chairman has already advised delegations accordingly.
