[Received June 25—4:30 p. m.]
A–282. ReDepintels February 4 and May 1890 recognition Commie regime China. In recent informal talk with Acting Fon Secy, I suggested GOP91 discount press reports US would rush recognize Commie regime since regime must first demonstrate stability and willingness assume international obligations also initiative re recognition must come from Commies. Acting Fon Secy now informs Emb GOP has carefully considered matter, is in agreement US policy not be rushed into precipitate recognition, states Pak[istan] will not recognize Commie regime without prior consultation US Govt. GOP asks in return US not recognize Commie regime without prior notice Pak which will enable GOP take simultaneous action.
