THE SECRETARY OF STATE
SECREL
WASHINGTON
SECURITY INFORMATION
September 30, 1952
My dear Mr. President:
You will recall our conversation over the telephone regarding
Egypt the day before you left Washington. We have worked out
with the Director of Mutual Security and the Deputy Secretary
of Defense a reply to General Naguib's approach, which would be
made to him through Ambassador Caffery. A draft of instructions
proposed to be given to Caffery is enclosed. We are sending
him this draft for his comments before final decision. We are
also communicating it to the British Government for any com-
ments which they may wish to make.
Your instruction to me was to proceed along this line, re-
ferring to you any questions which I thought required your de-
cision, but with the understanding that you approved the prin-
ciples of this response. There is no decision which I need from
you at this moment, but send you this draft in order to keep you
fully informed and to receive any views which you may wish to
give me. I shall let you know of such comments as we may re-
ceive. Unless these raise unforeseen difficulties, I believe that
we should go forward with the proposed response.
Most respectfully,
Cream Adrism
