I am sorry for the delay in replying to your
letter of October 17th about staff matters at Bushire.
Our reactions to the appointment of an addi
tional Career Officer at Bushire are similar to your own.
We are therefore informing Tehran of your views
and our own, and have suggested that the matter be
discussed with Galloway on his arrival*
We assume by the way that by "de-carriSre officer”,
the Embassy at Tehran mean an officer of the Indian
Political Service rather than of the Foreign Service,
Yours sincerely.
