His Excellency Señor Carlos H. Aldana Sandoval, newly appointed
Ambassador of Guatemala, called on me today to present copies of his
credentials and to request an appointment with the President.
The conversation was devoted chiefly to the usual exchange of
courtesies. The Ambassador expressed his pleasure at being appointed
to such an important post as Washington. He assured me of his desire
to cooperate with me on all matters of mutual interest. He expressed
his readiness to be of any service within his power as the representa-
tive of the Guatemalan Government in this country.
I told the Ambassador that I was very pleased to welcome him in
his capacity as Ambassador in Washington, assuring him of my support
and that of the officers of the Department.
No matters of a political nature were discussed.
