The United States Representative at the united Nations (Lodge) to the Department of State
Delga 71. If agreeable please pass Ankara.1 Turkey’s election to SC while highly satisfactory to both our governments was also clear indication Sarper’s personal popularity among UN delegations and skill with which he advocated Turkey’s successful candidacy. I suggest Embassy Ankara, if it sees no objection, bring this attention Turkish Foreign Minister at some appropriate time and would be grateful if Embassy would at same time express my personal satisfaction at Turkey’s election and my appreciation of fine spirit of cooperation exhibited by Turkish delegation under his leadership.
