299. Telegram From the Embassy in Egypt to the Department of State1

Cairo, April 21, 1956—11 a.m.

2104. For the Secretary. In re-reading Embassy telegram 2087,2 am concerned that point (6) of last paragraph might be misunderstood. What I had in mind was what positive acts we would wish Nasser to make, as contrasted to those things he is doing which he should not do. Some of latter at least are easy to define and we will, [Page 567] of course, keep working away at these without necessity specific instruction.
