The Acting Secretary of State to the Embassy in Greece
1537. Do you have any indication re procedure Greek Govt intends to follow in inviting “International Committee” to supervise amnesty?
It is our thought that proper supervision by international group would require considerable staff and would involve substantial expense. If Govt really serious in its announced intention to request such supervision, we would like to have as much advance info as possible to permit planning and exploration of possible sources of personnel and funds.
However, please do not make special formal request for info or otherwise imply any commitment on our part at this time.
