The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Colombia (Lane)
525. The most careful consideration was given to your telegram no. 679, April 11, 4 p.m., at the last meeting of the Department’s policy committee. The matter had previously been discussed again in detail with the other agencies of this Government concerned, all of which strongly recommended that immunity be claimed. The Department greatly appreciates the thorough manner in which you have analyzed this problem and assures you that every consideration was given to the points you made. The principle involved is considered so important [Page 872] that the Department finds it necessary to re-affirm the decision given in its telegram no. 476, April 6 [8], 6 p.m., that immunity be claimed in this particular case.
