The situation has changed in that we now have reason to believe that the related problem of our own ras`rictions on imperta of Greek textiles has not been forgotton and we can no longer our eat that you delay yra itation of your note in order to avoid resurrecting this matter.
2. In these circumstances we have no objection to the Note Verbele baing presented but would still prefer to wait until after the current Sezaion of GATT.
3. We regret that our expɔctations of suonass are no higher abw, than thay wore on account of the continuing imbalance of trade betw Grease and the starling arua a antiør which was moontly aårvé ký a Graek business delegation to this country. But we de not mig;est that you should refrein from presenting the note on that account.
