The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Hayes)
Washington, September 23, 1944—8 p.m.
2619. You have already made strong representations to the Spanish Government looking to suspension of enemy air services to Iberian Peninsula. You are now requested to see Lequérica and tell him you are acting under instructions from your Government in asking the immediate and permanent suspension of those services. The Allied press and public are of course aware of this connection and you should so state. Lisbon is being similarly instructed.74
