632. Inform FonOff urgently French have informed us⁴⁰ they will very shortly seek US good offices present and urge Siamese acceptance proposals for solution disputed areas problem within UN framework. Details follow soonest but possibly few days delay. Dept generally familiar French proposals and considers them so important it urges Siamese Govt consider them and instruct delegation prior its departure delaying departure if need be. Agreement reached here Siamese complaint will not be placed on provisional agenda SC until Siamese delegation arrives. Short delay will therefore not prejudice Siamese position.
