PRIORITY.
PERSONAL FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM HARRIMAN. INFO PERSONAL
FOR THE SECRETARY ONLY.
Now that we have got over the first obstacle I find that
both Tranian and British Governments want me to stay on
during their negotiations. Both groups feel that I can
perhaps help smooth out impasses in negotiation. But
beyond this, Iranians believe we can and will protect them
from undue British pressure while British would like to
get us more involved in Iranian crisis. Although I per-
sonally would like to come home soonest, I don't see any
way that I can gracefully retire at this time. I ask that
you authorize me to remain here as long as it appears use-
ful. I intend to keep out of day-to-day negotiations if
at all possible and perhaps visit neighboring countries
such as Pakistan, India, Turkey as tourist for one or two=
day trips unless you see objection.
