I deeply regret that mistake was made in our Emb here in
reaching conclusion that the message from the President,
2237, May 31, was for Prime Minister Mosadeq. A letter
was prepared for me which I presented to the PRIMIN at
11:30 this morning. The message seems to me as I re-read
it equally appropriate for the Iran PRIMIN. I can see
no (rpt no) harm if the Dept will indicate that the
President sent the same letter to both the Iranian and
Brit PRIMINS. I had given copy of the message to the Brit
PRIMIN*for his information before we discovered the mistake
we had made.
Mosadeq said he wld present the matter to both sessions of
Parliament tomorrow for discussion. I do not (rpt do not)
see how we old withdraw the letter at this time. Mosadeq
will release it to the press tomorrow morning and it shld
be released in Washington also tomorrow morning.
I deeply regret this mistake but hope the matter can be
handled so that it will actually serve useful purpose.
Advise London Dept's decision.
GRADY
