His Excellency Señor Dr. Don Cipriano Restrepo Jaramillo, newly
appointed Ambassador of Colombia, called on me today at 12:30 p.m. to
present copies of his credentials and to request an appointment with
the President.
After the usual exchange of courtesies, the Ambassador expressed
his pleasure at returning in his new capacity to the United States,
where he had previously spent short portions of his life. He promised
the fullest collaboration in all matters affecting our two countries,
stressing his wish that everything should be done to bolster and im-
prove mutual understanding between the peoples of our two countries.
I told the Ambassador that I was very pleased to welcome him in
his capacity as Ambassador in Washington. I said that his arrival
here occurred under particularly favorable auspices, since I had al-
ready formed, through recent association, a high opinion both of his
predecessor and of his brother, who was recently here in his capacity
as Foreign Minister of Colombia. I added that I had already heard fine
reports about him, both as an outstanding representative of his country
and as a good "negotiator". I assured him of my support and of my
willingness to discuss with him in the future all matters of mutual
interest.
No matters of a political nature were discussed.
