Dept. of State letter. Aug. 9, 1973
By NLT- 46 NARS Date 63076
who requested the opportunity to talk with him. He urged Mr.
Stephanopoulos to lead a fight within the Populist Party
against the creation of a restricted rightist government.
Mr. Stephanopoulos even came to an agreement with the Chief
of Mission on certain arguments which he should use. Mr.
Stephanopoulos drafted these arguments in English, in the
general substance of which the Chief of Mission concurred.
In his statement Mr. Stephanopoulos used the word "inadmis-
sible" as applied to the restricted government.
When Mr. Stephanopoulos confronted Mr. Tsaldaris with
his arguments and stated they had been approved by the Chief
of Mission, Mr. Tsaldaris protested the use of the word
*inadmissible." As a result of this protest, Ambassador
MacVeagh felt it wise to write a letter to Mr. Tsaldaris
which would state that "Governor Griswold tells me that he
did not mean to say that the formation now of a more restricted
government would be 'inadmissible* but only that it would be
inadvisable since it would interfere with the effectiveness
of the American Aid Program." Knowing that Mr. Tsaldaris
wanted this letter to show his friends that he had the sup-
port of American officials, the Chief of Mission questioned
whether the letter should be sent. He approved, however,
not only because of his confidence in the judgment of Am-
bassador MacVeagh but also because the letter in fact re-
iterated the arguments against a restricted government. This
:
letter was sent on August 26. On August 27 the Chief of Mis-
sion informed Mr. Stephanopoulos that, while the letter had
been sent, all the arguments expressed against the formation
