220. Telegram 1624 to London1
Washington, September 22, 1955, 7:59
p.m.
1624. Your 1119. Department considers it mere Chinese Communist quibble whether GOI and UK should be “invited”, “notified” or “requested” to perform allotted functions. Department naturally communicated with both GOI and UKG in regard U.S. interest in their functions. It assumed PRC would do likewise.
PRC clearly obligated make arrangements necessary to enable UK Government function. U.S. Government promptly discharged its obligation to enable GOI to function.
