40. For Dr. Corrigan from the Acting Secretary. I suggest that you consult with your Venezuelan colleague and take such action as he and you may deem appropriate at the opening session of the [Page 102] Conference in arranging for the selection of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica, in his capacity as the delegate of that Government in the negotiations, as Chairman of the Conference. You may consider it appropriate that a motion to this effect be made jointly by yourself and the delegate of Venezuela.
Please keep the Department advised by telegram of all developments of importance which take place in the sessions of the Conference.
