New York, July 12, 1954—10 a.m.

27. From Sears for Key. In view importance clearly favorable vote three-power resolution Marshall Islanders petition, consider it essential that Department take appropriate steps to assure affirmative vote El Salvador and Haiti. It is not expected that any of three draft resolutions will receive majority vote in petitions committee. Thus all three expected to come before TC for action by Wednesday, July 14. [Page 1510] If affirmative vote El Salvador and Haiti received, expect favorable vote three-power draft nine-three (USSR, India, Syria).1 [Sears.]
