PRIORITY
SENT DEPT 407, LONDON 85 (EYES ONLY AMBASSADOR),
FROM HARRIMAN FOR THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.
NO DISTRIBUTION EXCEPT AS DIRECTED BY THE SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
In my mtgs this afternoon with Shah and Mosadeq they both
cordially received idea of my going to London upon my explanation
that British Govt had questions concerning Iranian proposal
which cld best be answered in personal conversations.
Shah asked me to tell Prime Minister Attlee that he earnestly
hope British wld not (rpt not) find it necessary to impose
conditions in acceptance, as he is confident solution can
be worked out after arrival of mission. He said conditions
might make it impossible for Iranian Govt to accede and wld
result in changed atmosphere here. He stated again Mosadeq
was only man who cld make reasonable deal with British
and said he (Shah) wld use his influence to that end. He
urged me to stay during negotiations.
My talk with Mosadeq was most friendly and personal one
we have had. He agreed it was wise for him to make as few
public statements as possible regarding Iranian Govt proposal,
although he said he wld have to give confidential report in
general terms to Majlis tomorrow (Saturday) as report
already had been put off days. I re-emphasized importance
of Iranian Govt doing its part in relieving tension in South.
