The Chargé in Nicaragua (Castleman) to the Secretary of State

156. Department’s telegram No. 74. President Somoza informs me that Nicaragua agrees on San José for the first stage of negotiations, reserving until later date its decision regarding the venue of the second stage. Will probably name two delegates, one a liberal and the other a conservative, each accompanied by a counselor who will not be a delegate. The President says that the delegation will be ready to start negotiations in San José November 1.

Repeated to Tegucigalpa.
