The Ambassador in China (Stuart) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 23—11:19 a.m.]
1133. In first sentence (enclosed in quotation marks) of fourth paragraph of Deptel 900, June 19, did NAC really mean to add words “including in particular” and if so is it intended that text of original draft aid agreement should continue thereafter listing a, b, c and d, illustratively as types of expenditures? It would seem to Embassy that if NAC proposed deletion of paragraph 5 as stated in third paragraph of reftel the words “including in particular” should be stricken and remaining truncated sentence would stand alone as revised paragraph 5. Please clarify soonest.
Sent Department 1133, repeated Shanghai 517.
