203. Manila for Secretary. Re GA presidency. Believe that with some quiet and tactful effort on my part it may be possible to have Prince Wan elected President of GA and that otherwise it will not be possible. Would appreciate advice as to whether you really want him elected President or not. Think I see about six votes which I could change without “campaigning” but am mindful of your admonition.
