The Secretary of State to the Embassy in India
237. For Henderson from Hickerson. You will observe from several USUN tels repeated to you that we are stepping up as much as possible informal consultation between USUN and Rau on Korean and other UN matters. We are doing this deliberately and think it will pay good dividends.
Apropos of Rau’s mysterious statement last Wednesday,1 Rau yesterday told Gross that what he had in mind was that he had received instructions to support US position on all matters likely to come to a vote in connection with Korea in the near future and that on that account he did not want to get out in front with statements or initiatives in SC.
