he is aggressive, and at times through weakness he is stubborn.
I feel, however, that he is susceptible to very considerable
development and that his trip to the United States can be a
most important turning point in his life and in our relations
with Iran, to which I attach very great importance. The fact
that he may have the benefit of personal contact with you,
with our Government, and with our most important military
figures will be of great value. I am very pleased that after
the termination of his official visit he plans to take a vaca-
tion in the United States. He should, I think, be encouraged
in every way to protract his visit. Nothing could be better
from every point of view than for the Shah to get acquainted
with America, Americans, and the American way of life.
The visit to America may exercise a decisive influence
upon him, with an impact upon the development of the American
position in this strategic segment of the Middle East. We,
of course, want a stable Iran. We must perforce hope for much
from the Shah since we may expect so very little from others
in this country.
Respectfully,
