EXTILES:

STANS PROPOSALS

You may care to see the attached copy of a letter from Mr. John Freeman to our PUS on this subject.

This letter, which provides useful background to the rather Curious manoeuvrings of the Americans over this issue, does not seem to call for a reply. But if the re are any points you think that it would be useful for us to pass on to Hr. Freeman, we shall of course be happy to arrange for this to be done.
