4458. 1. Urge you exercise every means to have [name not declassified] remove STANDEL–1 before noon 28 June failing this prevail upon STANDEL–1 to accept Calligeris cease fire conditions.
2. FYI. There remains no choice but fight unless STANDEL–1 comes out immediately against communism accepting terms announced and call cease fire for forming new govt with Calligeris.2 To do otherwise would be to surrender our present advantages and possibly fall victim of Arbenz Communist intrigue.
