The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
10403. For Bugbee from Haley, Embassy’s 10395 of November 25. Cremer and Zimmerman discussed and agreed with Haley and Phillips on desirability of January meeting of Rubber Study Group. Department feels that reports of both U. S. group and London Secretariat should be presented to Rubber Study Group. Consequently Pawson and Kellett need to arrive only day or two before delegation to acquaint U. S. technical group with contents of London report and vice versa. Feel Bugbee should also arrive few days in advance for conference with Department group. He will receive formal orders shortly. Believe Rubber Study Group meeting should take approximately one week.
