DEPT 474.
EYES ONLY SECRETARY FROM HARRIMAN.
DISTRIBUTION ONLY AS DIRECTED BY SECRETARY'S OFFICE.
I have discussed with Busheri substance of telegram 42. He
stated that Iranian Govt proposes fol procedure;
(1) Brit Govt authorize Charge to deliver to Iranian Govt
msg according to text in my telegram August 1 and in separate
ommunication give name of Minister and, if possible, what
number of his party.
(2) Simultaneously Iranian Govt will hand Charge reply
according to text my above telegram and separately give him
as matter of record copy of two minutes of° Iranian Cabinet.
The first is three=point minute quoted in my telegram July 24.
The second minute approves my qualification that, in
connection with third point of first minute, Iranian Govt
must be prepared to negotiate the manner in which the law will
be carried out insofar as it affects Brit interests. At same
time, Iranian Govt will hand Charge invitation to Minister and
his party to come to Iran as guest of Iranian Govt.
(3) Iranian Govt states it must inform Majlis of precise
action taken by Cabinet, and therefore plans to release to
public here exchange of msgs as above, the two minutes of
Cabinet and invitation to Minister. If Brit wish, I am sure
Iranian Govt will accept Brit suggestion of time for release.
The above covers points (a) and (b) your telegram 42 since
Iranian Cabinet minutes refer only to law of March 20 and
Iranian Govt also agrees it is prepared to negotiate the
manner in which this law will be carried out insofar as
affects Brit interests,
