top secret

Dear Winston: I have your reply to my message.1 We shall study it and you will hear further from us, probably through the State Department. Foster knows that I am anxious to find a way for us to conform as far as possible to your views on Egypt. Of course you know of our conviction that if we can together reach a prompt and completely successful arrangement with Iran, this will immeasurably strengthen our hands here at home against any opponent seeking to weaken our support of the efforts you are making to reaching a proper arrangement in Egypt.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

As ever,

Ike
