The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 13—4:30 p.m.]
3838. ReDeptel 2280, November 5, Benton to Harriman, repeating cable from London of October 31. Educational and Cultural Organization. I do not believe it advisable to approach Foreign Office on this question. British did approach Vyshinski again in letter dated November 2, to which they have had as yet no reply, and I cannot believe (reEmbs 3439, October 3, repeated London as 490 and 3507, October 10, repeated London as 51324) that anything we might say at this date would have any effect on Soviet decision and may cause annoyance that here again we would be needling them obviously at the request of the British.
Sent Dept; repeated London as 575.
