RE SECTO 19.
IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL WHEN INSTRUCTIONS ARE SENT BACK
THAT RELATE TO MY AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY ANO THAT RIESPOND TO MEMOS I.
MYSELF FORWARDED TO THE SECRETARY IF YOU COULD INCLUDE ME AS AN
ADDRESSEE, THE DEPARTMENT'S EXECUTIVE. SECRETARY IS ONLY TOO EAGER
TO AVOID SERVICING SEVENTH FLOOR PRINCIPALS AND THE RESULT IN THIS
CASE WAS THAT PROPERLY COORDINATED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SECRETARY'S
INSTRUCTION WAS DELAYED BY SOME 18 HOURS. I REGRET TO SAY THAT THIS
IS ONLY ONE OF NUMEROUS CASES THAT DONALDSON AND I BOTH HAVE HAD TD
CONTEND WITH WHERE OUR,ABILITY TO PERFORM FUNCTIONS ASSIGNED US BY
THE SECRETARY HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INHIBITED,
AS REGARDS PARA 4 OF.SECTO 19, DO WE REALLY WANT TD TELL THE WORLD
"WE WANT LONDON" WHEN BRITISH EXPLICITY ASKED TO HOLD THIS IN
ABEYANCE PENDING ELECTION. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD SOMETHING DIFFERENT
DURING YOUR LONDON STOP. IN ANY EVENT, WE WILL INFORM ALL CONCERNED
THAT PARIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
RE PAR 6 OF SECTO 19s APRIL 23 WOULD NOT CATCH EITHER POMPIDOU
OR TANAKA SINCE THEY WILL BE MEETING IN TOKYO.
WARM REGARDS.
