146. Telegram From the Department of State to the Embassy in India0

Washington, June 24, 1962, 1:31 p.m.

4351. Eyes Only for Ambassador From Bundy. President asks your judgment on next steps with Nehru in light of his remarks on Kashmir vote. President questions timing and content of further loan arrangements and is puzzled by Nehru’s apparent inability to understand that Pak 104 deal precedes this administration.

[Page 292]

In partial response suggest despatch full text of Nehru remarks, but your own comments would be even more valuable.
