Although Mr. Edwin Dale had been told\nyesterday that his information was inaccurate and had been\ngiven the correct story, nevertheless he chose to publish\nhis version.\nThe idea contained in his story that the United States\nwas using the International Monetary Fund for political\npurposes could have been seriously damaging and it brought\nforth numerous inquiries from the financial community in\nNew York. Accordingly, I felt it advisable to put out a\nstatement correcting the record.\nWhile there was some controversy within the International\nMonetary Fund Board over the approval of this loan, the United\nStates position was essentially one of standing by the new\nManaging Director of the Fund in his first major recommendation.\nIn their final action no Executive Director opposed the loan\nor abstained.\nA copy of the Treasury statement is attached for your\ninformation.\nNerghas Diller\nDóuglas Dillon\nAttachment"
