DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON August 22, 1946 SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS Ost EGYPT Our Legation in Cairo reports that although progress toward revision of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty has suffered a sete back as a result of Egypt's rejection of the most recent British proposals, it is probable that further conversations will be held shortly. 051 - GREECE Ambassador MacVeagh believes nothing could be more beneficial to US interests in Greece or do more to strengthen the morale of democratic elements in Greece than a courtesy visit to a Greek port of a US Navy detachment either before or after the forthcoming plebiscite. 051 - ICELAND The Secretary has accepted the following draft proposal for submission to Iceland: 1) Abrogation of the 1941 agreement; 2) Immediate fulfillment of our promise to return Meeks Field to Iceland; 3) Military transit and technical stop rights for our aircraft supporting our control agencies in Germany and the right to maintain at our expense such services, installations and personnel as are necessary to the opera- tion of the airport; 4) Progressive withdrawal during 180-day period of all US military and naval personnel now in Iceland. The Secretary believes we should make a most earnest effort to obtain an agreement which would be in effect during the entire period of control in Germany. 051 IRAN Embassy Tehran has obtained no confirmation of rumored Soviet reinforcements along the USSR - Azerbaijar frontiero DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept.
