19. Department’s 15, March 17, 6 p.m. On March 21 I am going to Ankara for a week or so, and I shall be guided by circumstances with regard to the use of the very helpful authorization and instructions which are contained in paragraphs (1) to (3). Probably it will be desirable to do so with a view to reassuring the Turks concerning the sincerity of American intentions respecting the negotiation eventually of a brief treaty of residence and establishment.
