MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: United States Government Representation
in Palestine.
Reference is made to the Department's memorandum of
May 27, 1948 in which the following recommendations were
made:
"A Mission of the United States should be
established in the capital of the new state of
Israel for the purpose of performing political
and consular functions. It is believed that
Tel Aviv or a suburb of that city will be
selected as the capital by the Provisional
Government of Israel. This Mission should be
headed by a Special Representative of the United
States.
"Approval should be given to the establishment
of a Mission of the Provisional Government of
Israel in Washington, headed by a Special Repre-
sentative of the Provisional Government of Israel.
The United States should agree to the designation,
by the Provisional Government of Israel, of
Mr. Eliahu Epstein as Special Representative of
the Provisional Government of Israel in the United
States. II
These recommendations were approved by you on May 27,
1948.
on June 7, 1948 the Department was informed that the
Provisional Government of Israel accepts the proposed
arrangement ad interim in the confident expectation that
an exchange of legations and envoys extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary will follow without undue delay.
Pending the selection and appointment of a special
representative to head the Mission of the United States
in Israel
