The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
5582. Please deliver the following message to Lord Beaverbrook from Assistant Secretary Berle:
“In view of your approaching visit to this country,52 I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take this opportunity to continue the exploratory talks on civil aviation which Warner and I commenced in London. We have made considerable progress in our talks with representatives of other nations and are most anxious to explore further with you various points on which there still may be some disparity in our views. If this suggestion is agreeable to you, I presume you will wish to bring some of your technical advisers, and I assure you we shall be most happy to receive them as well as yourself.”
If the above invitation is accepted, we should like to have Satterthwaite proceed to Washington to be present throughout the discussions.
