Telegram received from Department August 31.  

SUEZ for Henderson.  

Department heartily approves suggestions made in your recent  

messages. Firm leadership and constructive approach shown by Menzies  

most encouraging. Attitudes other members of Committee, especially  

Unden and Aklilou, very helpful. Report Cairo that Nasser is thinking  

in terms of counter- proposals to be presented to Committee and is  

prepared, in effort to reassure users, to go considerably further than  

he has indicated publicly is also encouraging,  

While recognizing fully difficult position in which Committee  

may find itself if Nasser attempts to turn explanations into negotiations,  

we believe that Committee, as representative of 18 nations, should not  

hesitate to make suggestions and use illustrative approach as much as  

possible. In this connection, we agree with Menzies* suggestion that  

Committee could give Nasser written statement to the effect that its  

illustrative suggestions are only tentative.  

We also believe that in any exchange of notes with Egyptians,  

it would be useful to recast five-nation proposals to show manner  

they might be worked out in practice.  

We are sending you separately suggestions on details of your ideas  

on how this might be done.
