FROM HARRIMAN.
Pls inform Iran Govt soonest that I do not (rpt not) feel

URTEL 91 (which I have just recd), as it is not (rpt not)
responsive to the cordial reply proposed by Brit Govt which
you showed Iran Govt Sunday. I will return Monday evening
due Tehran Tuesday to discuss matter with them on arrival.
In meantime Brit proposed reply (MYTEL 33) can not (rpt not)
be considered as having been made as it depended upon favor-
able response from Iran Govt.
If, however, Iran Govt will rephrase their reply in accordance
suggestion MYTEL 33, I am confident arrangements for immed
dispatch of mission can be made before I leave.
Of course, Brit will make their recognition of principle of
nationalization public when exchange of message has been
