The Counselor of the Belgian Embassy (Gruben) to the Assistant Secretary of State (Berle)

D.8443/8
No. 3516

Dear Mr. Berle: I have the honor to refer to the exchange of views between yourself and the Ambassador (who is now on leave) and particularly to your letter of June 3, 1944 concerning informal conversations between the Department of State and representatives of the Belgian Government on post-war planning for commercial aviation.

I am now informed that my Government has decided upon the general outlines of its policy on this matter and that I will receive instructions in view of the proposed conversations. I will not fail to inform you as soon as I will receive them in order to initiate without further delays the exploratory discussions suggested by the Department.

Very sincerely yours,

Hervé de Gruben
