[Received 10:24 p.m.]
1260. In accordance with the Department’s telegram 669, June 21, noon [midnight], I presented at 11 a.m., June 23, to the Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs the note by which our Government accorded recognition to the Bolivian Provisional Government. I was accompanied by the Military Attaché15 of this Embassy and Commercial Attaché16 who has also continued to have the status of Second Secretary in La Paz. After a brief conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs17 during which numerous photographs were taken by news photographers the Director of Protocol of the Foreign Office arranged for a brief courtesy call which we made immediately afterwards on Major Villarroel the Provisional President.
