Government would have the right to sell, <pr failing
that to salvage the buildings and facilities;
(c) the Persian Government would undertake to afford
His Majesty^ Government all facilities they may
require for the disposal to a third party of any
buildings and facilities which they did not wish
to acquire themselves,
8 * I agree that, so far as Soviet participation is
concerned, each case should be treated on its merits# But we
shall have to keep Soviet Government informed of our general
intentions and, in cases where they are to be co-signatories,
agree with them on the line to be adopted before approaching
the Persians.
9. We are, as you know, also committed to consulting the
United States Government before entering intoany agreement
involving disposal of lease-lend material. Since in practice
it would be virtually impossible to assess the exact
proportion of lease-lend material that has gone into any given
improvement, the only practical way to deal with this
question will be to reach a general understanding with the
United States Government before we approach the Persians.
The way will be clearer for doing this when we have received
your recommendations regarding paragraphs 6 and 7 above.
[Copies sent to Mr. Amstrong]
