SECRETARY-GENERAL OF NATO16 | |||||||
|
Reference: My immediately preceding telegram. Following for the Under-Secretary, Begins:
Following for the Under-Secretary, Begins: 1. My immediately preceding telegram17 quoting the text of Mr. Pearson's press release speaks for itself. If the High Commissioner and Rae are not in London, please ask Ritchie to give a copy of the press statement at once to Mr. Spofford.18 2. Mr. Pearson would like Spofford to convene a meeting of the Council Deputies just as quickly as possible to consider again the question of the secretary generalship. This will be a delicate operation but it is important that no time should be lost. 3. Mr. Pearson would like Mr. Spofford to know for his own guidance and that of his colleagues in the Council Deputies that Mr. Pearson himself would, not repeat, not be available for the appointment. 4. I shall be writing the High Commissioner a personal letter on this subject and sending it by airmail. Ends.
