711.94/1972: Telegram
The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 27—12:10 p.m.]
334. Embassy’s 230, February 14, 8 p.m. In the course of my conversation yesterday with the Minister for Foreign Affairs I said [Page 54] that I wished him to know that everything Dooman had said to the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs on February 14 had my entire concurrence and approval. As Mr. Matsuoka had received only an oral report of the conversation from Mr. Ohashi I read to him the entire telegram under reference. Somewhat to my surprise he said that he entirely agreed with what Dooman had said. At the Minister’s request I am sending him today for his personal use a copy of the memorandum of conversation.
