OBGRET DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON July 27, 1951 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Reply to Australian Ambassador's letter of July 17, 1951 regarding tension between India and Pakistan In our conversation of July 19 the question arose as to whether it would be in order to reply to the Australian Ambassador's letter of July 17 in which was quoted a message sent by Mr. Menzies to the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan expressing concern over the current tension between the two countries and tendering the Australian Government's good offices. I am conveying your thanks for this letter in my reply to a similar letter addressed to me by Mr. Spender. I there- fore believe it will be unnecessary for you, to write an acknowledgment. them Anlison SBORET DECLASSIFIED STATE DEPT. LTR. 6.3.63 Authority INLT 83.7 By HC NLT Date f-29-t3
