DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
We are instructing SC Delegation in Paris not to support
a British resolution which would extend effect of SC troop
withdrawal resolution of November 4 to Northern Palestine.
Instead, Delegation recommends and Department concurs
that it should support a draft resolution originally prepared
by Bunche which Delegation believes Canada will be willing to
introduce in SC meeting tomorrow. You will note from text of
this resolution quoted below that it comes closer to Israeli
position; in fact our Delegation understands from Bunche that
Israeli representative EBAN favors approach along lines of
this draft resolution.
Naturally there might have to be some drafting changes
in the resolution as finally presented, but they should not
alter its substance.
Department desires President's instructions on (a) whether
US Delegation authorized support draft resolution and (b)
whether, in its discretion, it might join with Canada or other
delegations in co-sponsoring the resolution.
US Delegation will require instructions by early morning
Paris time, which must therefore be despatched tonight since
this item may be discussed tomorrow morning in SC.
