The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 3—8:09 p.m.]
5265. After receiving your 5007 of June 24, I urged prompt action in the appointment of delegates by the British Government and also [Page 119] called attention to the United Press report which you included in your message. The Foreign Office was able to forward a prospective list of delegates to the British Embassy in Washington which I was told Lord Halifax had transmitted to the Department.27 I do not anticipate changes in the personnel but as soon as the list has had Cabinet confirmation, I shall cable it to you.28
