Please inform Dept if the above survivor list is correct. If not, advise what names should be deleted or added.
E. Dept needs the names of the 36 survivors who may be released for Sunday’s Pan Am flight. The Dept and HEW need time to process their SCS/Havens, if necessary, and their reception in New York.
Please send the list of 36 and corrections of the survivor list by separate NIACT immediate cables.
