PRIORITY
FROM HARRIMAN FOR THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.
NO DISTRIBUTION EXCEPT AS DIRECTED BY SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
Busheri told me Iranian Govt hopes that, with clarification
Cabinet minute as reflected in (B) and (c) of MYTEL 340 of
today, Brit Govt will be able accept proposal without amend-
ment or reservation. I earnestly hope they can do so, and
insofar as possible leave for discussion and negotiation after
mission has arrived questions they have. I feel strongly
delay in reaching agreement to send mission will work adversely
to atmosphere conducive to successful results.
I also asked Busheri again whether Iran Govt wld insist upon
specifying that Brit Govt representative wld negotiate on
behalf of AIOC. He reiterated that position of his govt had
been negotiations on oil question shld be with the oil company
and not (rpt not) with Brit Govt, and said that decision to
negotiate with Brit Govt on behalf of company was made with
considerable difficulty and he felt sure Iranian Govt cld not
(rpt not go further than that. I therefore hope Brit will
not (rpt not) find it necessary to raise an issue upon this
point On other hand he confirmed my statement to Brit Amb
that government wld willingly include in formula clause "and
to discuss matters of mutual interest to the two govts, " if
Brit Govt wished.
