The Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 28.]
Sir: Referring to recent correspondence having to do with the disposal of the surplus Army equipment, and with special reference in that connection to my despatch No. 14941 of March 15, 1944, I have the honor to report that I am not happy about the status of this matter. Unless I have been mistakenly informed, the price we are asking the Brazilians is high. I say this only because of the bearing it may have on our present negotiations in connection with the proposed Brazilian-American Airport Agreement.75
Respectfully yours,
