In paragraph 2 of Washington telegram No. 2940 you said "Incidentally Trezise at no point suggested to us (paragraph 6 of UKDEL E.E.C. Brussels Telegram No. 414)/that Dahrendorf's visit to Washington should be postponed.". This is just a very brief line to set the record straight and to apologise for any misunderstanding which I may have caused.
2..
When I said, in paragraph 6 of UKDEL Telegram No. 414, that Dahrendorf would be unwilling to cancel his journey to Washington and that he would need to have Hijzen with him,
I should perhaps have explicitly added that, in the absence of these two in Washington, there was simply no one whom the Commission could send at an appropriate level to represent the E.E.C. at a Four Power Meeting in Geneva. Accordingly, as far as
as far as the E.E.C. were concerned, a Four Power Meeting in Geneva and Dahrendorf's visit to Washington could not have taken place simultaneously.
