The Governor-General of New Zealand to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs

The arrangements proposed for the escort of US 3 during its onward passage from Freetown, as set out in your telegram of 7 June (No. 166), have been noted with interest and appreciation by His Majesty's Government in New Zealand. They note the assurance that the escort proposed is adequate and assume that, in the light of the potentialities of the immediate future, His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom will keep the situation constantly under review, so that should a change in the situation so require the escort can be reinforced immediately.
