We hope, therefore, that you will agree to limit your communication to the Americans to general observations on the question at issue and a definite opinion that the matter is not appropriate to be dealt with in the present negotiations.

I enclose a suggested redraft of relevant parts of your Memorandum.

I am sending a copy of this letter to Rumbold, Monson, Fraser, Costar, Annan and Norman Young.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd) E. Slade.
