Chief, llyditerrsass* Bureau
This is in reply to your letter of I Horeb IBl8. We had, as
you suraised, noted the oossisnts of the Free Or**" 1 "lo Station
rwlativ to our establishing a Mission on Cyprus as well as other
publicity in this ooaameotion. I fail to understand your .oaseat,
"Although, I realise that ay oonaent ^ay not be desired, and I would,
therefore, appreciate it if you would forgot that I odo any it it
is not desired.* Obviously I an alwe,ys anxious to here soma outs of
Bureau Chits on wAtters of importance to this orgeanisation. For""
you son explain this further to she wren I *so you la Cairo*
I an anxious to visit Cairo sad Cyprus sad perhaps I will feel
differently about the setter after I have domes so. At the present
tine, however, I can see no possible way to avoid publicity in
connection with our project and it is only in harping with other
events in the world that oertain souroes would charge us with nili-
taristis domination, ote. I o live this is u avoidable.
Your understanding that the new Bureau is to be a civilian

how you arrived at a different conclusion. I shall also be glad to
have you explain this to r. is a civilian and the
use of his title was for he sole purposes facilitating negotiations
with the British. If you feel that he has abused this privilege I
shall be pore than glad to have you tell no about it in greater
detail.
The dasision as to who constructs this station is not loft to
FBIB. I suppose the fast that the Amy Engineers are assisting us
with the plans and construction also enters into the picture. This
S. unavoidable and whatever oritioisn we get as a result thereof
oust be accepted.
The Shat. Dspartwasat swved faster than I assumed they would on
the .stablishirnt of a Vise Consulate an Cyprus. We will, of course,
