EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON 25, D.C. December 22, 1950 My dear Mr. President: Referring to your note of today, I can well understand Ambassador Grady's anxiety with respect to Iran, which we share. At the same time we do not believe that a loan loosely made without adequate provision for administration and clear understanding on both sides would help the situation at all. Our men are making good progress with the Iranian delega- tion and I believe the members of the delegation are well satisfied. We expect definite results very soon and we are confident that we will have the two important credits, for agriculture and for roads, set up in such a way that they will do real and lasting good. I appreciate your interest in the matter and you can be assured that it is our strong desire to make a record which you can approve. Sincerely, to ARCHIVES NATIONAL SERVICE HERBERT E. GASTON GOYER Chairman The President, The White House.
