A–25. The contents of the Department’s telegram no. 566 [565] March 17, 10:00 p.m. [midnight] to Cairo have been transmitted to King Ibn Saud. While local people have had their interest in proposed Resolutions stimulated by radio broadcasts in Arabic, there is nothing to show that there was any alarm nor that the standing of the United States was affected.

Copy to Cairo, Jerusalem, Baghdad, Beirut and Damascus.
