The Minister in Egypt (Tuck) to the Secretary of State

Cairo, June 29, 1944—8 p.m.
[Received 9:04 p.m.]

1840. Reference Department’s No. 1564, June 22, 11 p.m. I have left an aide-mémoire with the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs³ along the lines of the Department’s telegram under acknowledgment. I was today informed by that official that the matter has been referred to Nahas Pasha, the Prime Minister, and that a reply will be forthcoming within a week’s time.

I consider it advisable not to approach the British authorities again on the subject until I learn what the attitude of the Egyptian Government may be. I am following the matter closely and will report telegraphically when information becomes available.

Tuck
