The Chief of the Aviation Division (Morgan) to the Counselor of the Belgian Embassy (Cruben)67
My Dear Baron de Gruben: In anticipation of the exploratory talks on aviation which are to commence next Monday,68 I take pleasure [Page 525] in sending you herewith, for the information of the Belgian group who will participate in these talks, a copy of a “Summary of Objectives Favored by the United States of America With Respect to Post-War Civil Air Transport”.69
This document has been submitted to the other national groups with whom we have already held exploratory talks, as a basis for discussion and exchange of views. This summary has been prepared tentatively, on a technical level, and is to be considered as strictly informal.
We will be happy to receive any statement of the views or objectives of the Belgian Government that you care to submit for our consideration either before or during the talks. We are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to this opportunity to exchange views with Belgium.
Sincerely yours,
