The Special Representative of the President (Corrigan) to the Secretary of State

21. The Nicaraguan reply to the 10 suggestions made by the Commission was delivered officially last night. Nicaragua accepts basically all the points and is disposed to sign a convention putting them into effect. It desires to add, however, certain “natural additions” within the bases recommended, leading to the certainty of proper compliance. These latter suggestions are to be communicated to the Commission at the proper time. The Commission considers the reply very satisfactory.

The Nicaraguan first delegate this morning presented to the Commission a copy of the telegram sent to Tegucigalpa by the Nicaraguan Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs protesting the events reported in telegram No. 174 of November 22, 9 [10] p.m. from Managua.59
