The Secretary of State to the Minister in Saudi Arabia ( Eddy )

300. As President is away from Washington for few days it is impossible to discuss with him arrangements proposed in your 374 Oct 5. You should inform Acting Foreign Minister that in opinion of Dept it would be preferable that no action be taken in the matter of publication until the Dept has had an opportunity to consult the President. The views of the Govt with regard to the matter will be furnished as soon as they have been formulated.
