The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
Washington, November
17, 1945—5 p.m.
10079. Please convey following message to Mr. Bevin:
“The President and I spoke with Mr. Attle.40a about the need for speed in the joint inquiry regarding Palestine and our view that the Committee should be constituted at once and instructed to report in 120 days. I hope very much you will support this suggestion so as to avoid serious protest here that inquiry will needlessly delay action. Please advise me at once whether you agree to this suggestion as to time. Signed Byrnes.”
