Should Sir Zafrulla inquire as to the name of the American
being considered for an immediate United Nations assignment
regarding the Kashmir case, you may desire to point out that, in
our view, the United Nations Representative should be appointed
directly by the Security Council without reference, as heretofore,
to either party to the dispute (a position originally put forward
by the Pakistan Government).
It is possible that Sir Zafrulla will mention the pending
Indian food request and express the hope that the effects of
United States generosity will not prove detrimental to Pakistan.
In this case, you may find it appropriate to remind him that the
Pakistan Ambassador has been informed of our humanitarian motives
in this matter, and has been assured that we do not intend our
action to be in any way detrimental to Pakistan's interests.
