There was a leak in the United States
press last'week regarding the alleged forthcoming conclusion of an agreement between the
United' States and Turkey for the establishment
of intermediate range ballistic missile launching
sites in Turkey, As you are aware, Turkey
expressed agreement in principle to the establishment of launching sites at the Heads of
Governments meeting of the North Atlantic
Council in 1957. The stories that appeared
in the United States press last week suggested
that Prime Minister Menderes would make a
statement on his return to Turkey. The Prime
Minister arrived in Istanbul some days ago and
in Ankara yesterday. I imagine that if he makes
any statement he will make it in the Grand
National Assembly which convenes on November 2. -

Circulation

2.
I am informed by a senior official
of the Foreign Ministry that the proposed
agreement will be similar to the agreement
between the United States and the United
Kingdom.

AMBASSADOR.
