YOUR TELNO 122:
FOR WILFORD.
GOOD. WITH THIS FOREKNOWLEDGE WE WILL ARRANGE A ROUTINE MEETING OF TEXTAB ON FRIDAY, WITHOUT OF COURSE HINTING AT THE CONTENTS OF YOUR TELEGRAM.
2. MY GUESS STILL IS THAT A REASONABLE ADVANCE ON THE PREVIOUS OFFER WOULD HAVE A FAIR CHANCE OF ACCEPTANCE. THOUGH THIS TIMING WOULD NOT ALLOW FORMAL ACCEPTANCE BY GOVERNMENT, WE COULD ANNOUHOU TEXTAD'S ADVICE, AND THIS WOULD GREATLY CLEAR THE AIR FOR SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT.
