824.01/939b: Circular telegram
The Secretary of State to the Diplomatic Representatives in the American Republics Except Argentina and Bolivia
As the Department indicated in its circular telegram of June 15, the Mexican Government has suggested simultaneous recognition of the Bolivan regime on June 23. Ambassador Caffery has indicated that the Brazilian Government will agree to that date provided it is agreeable to us.
The Department has been informed by the Colombian and Venezuelan Governments that they are prepared to recognize at an early date. Ten other governments have indicated that they are willing to recognize whenever a decision is made—two of these, however, with certain reservations. No final decision has been received from three governments and one definitely recommends not recognizing until after the elections.
Please inform the Foreign Minister of the country to which you are accredited that this Government is also willing to recognize on June 23 if it is the consensus on the part of the Governments of the American nations.
