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

422. Just received Deptel 362, December 18 bringing news that I shall be authorized to discuss with SAG summary of contract re Eximbank proposed loan. First appointment for Giles and me with Foreign Minister will be Saturday morning December 22 as arranged in courtesy audience with King yesterday. King left for Mecca but can receive us again when necessary.

Re your paragraph 1, I did not bring out with me 7-page “Proposed Provisions for Commercial Agreements With Particular Countries” (Dept’s memo of conversation of CP October 2649) because CP wished to make alterations. Please rush text by pouch.

Eddy
