The Secretary told Perkins that the sixth paragraph of the letter (infra) should not be deleted, and that Ambassador Dunn should definitely make an oral presentation when he delivered the letter. Attached to the memorandum was a copy of the text of the letter as approved by the Secretary for delivery on October 31.
