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

709. Appreciate comments contained in 1082, Dec 6 which are extremely helpful. Our communications with you continue to be hampered by slowness in transmission of messages. Your 1082 arrived in Washington only on morning Dec 9. We are following suggestion made in penultimate paragraph of your 1082. Suggest that all telegrams of any urgency be marked urgent.
