The Secretary of State to the Minister in Australia (Johnson)
Washington, January 14, 1944—8 p.m.
6. FEA is agreeable to your assuring the Australian authorities that no commodities other than those listed in Exhibit A50 will be requested during the present calendar year and that the dollar amounts listed are substantially accurate. It has not yet been possible to determine the dollar amount of requirements of hides but this is not believed to be an important item.
