FROM HARRIMAN FOR THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY==NO (RPT_NO)
DISTRIBUTION EXCEPT AS DIRECTED BY SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
"Brit Amb has shown me copy of Morrison's proposed statement
to House on Iran. There is no (rpt no) doubt that statement
as drafted or any statement in spirit of present draft wld
render virtually if not (rpt not) completely nil chances
for successful re-establishment of negotiation between two
govts. I, therefore, urge in strongest terms that every
effort be made to persuade Brit Govt not (rpt not) to make
any such statement or take action accelerating withdrawal
of personnel pending outcome of present attempts to arrange
for meeting. Personnel now only about one-third of previous
number.
"The Brit Amb and I have agreed the Iranians shld now take
steps to relieve the tension in oilfield and Abadan. We
both will be working to this end. "
