[Received June 13—7:22 a.m.]
1974 [bis]. I have received note dated June 8 from Massigli stating that Official Journal of the French Republic had on the same day published text of ordinance whereby in response to wish of Consultative [Page 709] Assembly FCNL had decided thenceforth to take name of “Provisional Government of the French Republic” and that Committee’s delegate had been instructed to inform American Government on following day of text of ordinance.
I have made no acknowledgement of receipt of this communication and will not do so unless instructed.
