IOPOOCRE T -2- The conference recognizes that if the Soviets indicate their willingness to discuss the fundamental security issues, we probably cannot insist upon our present position regarding the nature of exploratory talks. Soviet acceptance of the type of reply envisaged would, in world opinion, logically necessitate a prompt meet- ing of the four Ministers, and we should then agree to a prompt meeting in Paris to determine an agenda. ISRAEL Our Embassy in Tel Aviv reports that although no responsible official will admit that serious consideration is being given to devaluation of the Israeli pound, the Embassy has reason to believe that active consideration is being given to the matter but that the move is being delayed until some dramatic steps can be taken simultaneously toward correcting the un- favorable balance of payments. Although the position of the Israeli pound continues to deteriorate and all factors indicate a progressive worsening of the situation, the Embassy concludes that the Government still has a reasonable chance of control unless new, unexpected pressure develops against the currency.
