The Minister in Colombia (Caffery) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]
Bogotá, February 15, 1929—6 p.m.
[Received 9:10 p.m.]

26. Department’s 13, February 13, 6 p.m.,1 and 14, February 15, noon. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has just given me a copy of a telegram he is sending today to the Colombian Minister in Washington, Sr. Olaya, accepting the proposed exchange of notes with the following revisions:

  • In paragraph 2 of note after the word “ports” add “of the United States and “; after the word “zone” add “to fly across said zone following the route pointed out by the Governor thereof”; after the word “service” add “make repairs”.
  • In paragraph 3 after the word “service” add “make repairs”.

[Page 881]

No mention is made in the telegram of the three-flight weekly limitation.

I believe it would be better to sign the exchange of notes in Washington.

Caffery
