869. Your 866 and 867.61 While the Export-Import Bank may make moderate loans to aid in the reconstruction of Greece there is no basis for astronomical expectations. The figure named by Varvaressos, 250 million dollars, represents official request presented to the Export-Import Bank Aug 20; but Greek Embassy has been informed by the Bank that question must be presented to full Bank Board and no indication can be given as to when Board will act or what amount if any may be approved.
