495. Message From Prime Minister Eden to President Eisenhower1

London, November 4, 1956.

Dear Friend: I am sending you a personal message to explain why, although we welcome the request to the Secretary-General contained in the Canadian resolution, we find it impossible to accept the Afro-Asian resolution. I send you this preliminary notice remembering the last occasion, when owing to cyphering delays my message failed to reach you before our announcement was made.2

Yours ever,

Anthony3
