Meeting with the President
1. The Iranian Situation
I described to the President the crisis which has developed
in Iran over the weekend, in which the vacillation of the Shah,
his refusal to give Qavam authority to dissolve the Majlis lists
and restore order has led to various attempts by Qavam to
resign to the spreading of disorder in Tehran, the joining of
forces by the National Front and the Tudeh Party - in short
the general disintegration of authority in Iran.
I said that Ambassador Henderson had been doing everything
that was possible. He and the British Ambassador had joined in
recommending that we offer financial assistance to Qavam. We
have a plan ready to lay before the President and may do so later
in the day, depending upon whether the latest information says
that there is a government to which we can extend help.
