The Ambassador in Iran (Murray) to the Secretary of State

590. My telegrams 554, July 28; 560, July 30;73 and 583, August 3. I should greatly appreciate any information and guidance Department can give me regarding agreement apparently reached at Potsdam on withdrawal Allied troops from Tehran especially as it may concern relation of American troop movements to those of British and Soviet forces.

British Ambassador today asked whether American authorities in Tehran would be prepared to participate in mixed Anglo-Soviet-American Commission to schedule evacuation (my telegram 583, August 3). Please instruct.

Murray
