223. Telegram From the Department of State to the Embassy in the United Kingdom1

Washington, June 4, 1957—7:59 p.m.

8482. Eyes only for Stassen from Secretary. With the personal approval of the President I send you the following instructions:

You will notify Mr. Zorin at the earliest possible moment that the memorandum you submitted to him was not only informal and unofficial, but had no approval in its submitted form either by the President or the State Department, and that there are some aspects of the memorandum to which this government cannot agree at this moment. Therefore, you will request that Mr. Zorin return the memorandum.
