The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Iran ( Murray )
Washington
, November
14, 1945—1 p.m.
627. Reurtel no, 932, Nov. 9, 3 p.m. The Dept is of the view that the contracts of all the Millspaugh mission members should be definitely terminated and the mission come to a clean cut end. Following this, the Iran Govt would be entirely free to make any new arrangements with any of the members of the mission it may desire to retain in the Govt’s employ. Tacit understandings could be reached beforehand, but there should be no connection, in our view, between the Millspaugh mission and any subsequent arrangements.
