The Secretary of State to the Embassy in Nicaragua

138. Reference your A–228, June 16.43 For your info only: Formal consultations are not contemplated at this time. Informal consultations have resulted in failure of de facto govt to obtain recognition from any of the American Republics and difficulty in obtaining unanimity on any joint statement or joint course of action would make formal consultations inadvisable.

Further informal exchanges of views are anticipated should a change in Nicaraguan situation occur.
