The Secretary of State to the Minister in Ecuador (Gonzalez)
19. With the termination of the public hearings and expiration of the period for submission of briefs in connection with the proposed trade agreement with Ecuador, the Department is now hopeful that it can supply you in the near future with a list of the concessions which this Government would like to obtain in Schedule I together with drafts in English and Spanish of the general provisions which it would like to have inserted in the agreement. It would be helpful if you would report fully by air mail on the present attitude of the Ecuadoran Government toward the agreement, the outlook for prompt and favorable termination of the negotiations and any other related factors which occur to you. You should also indicate whether you believe it will be more advantageous for the negotiations to be held in Quito or in Washington.
