The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 3—4:40 p.m.]
333. My 301, November 21, 5 p.m. Chamber yesterday approved enabling legislation covering our Congelados and the deputy in charge of the bill was fortunately able to strike out reference to the American Government leaving substantially the phraseology suggested by the Embassy “with interested persons or corporations in the United States of America”.
I am informed that this legislation does not need approval by the Senate and goes at once to the President for signature. The Minister of Finance is already engaged in drafting contract which Brazilian Ambassador in Washington will sign with creditors.
