Caserta’s 3726 to Dept., repeated to Sofia as 76 Sept 28.98 Reference is made to decision reached at plenary meeting of ACC on Sept 25 that Brit, Soviet, and US Reps on ACC should request instructions from their respective Govts relative to support to be given to Greek reparation demands under Article I of Protocol.

Brit Emb has inquired status US Rep’s authority this regard and Dept has informed Emb that having received no request for further instructions to date, Dept assumes that Gen Crane considers previous instructions adequate for his guidance. If this assumption is unwarranted, please notify Dept urgently.
