Ambassador Reid encloses an official statement from The Times regarding the controversy between the United States and Great Britain at the London Olympics. Reid does not know much about it, but believes that prolonging the discussion about it will only hurt relations between the two countries. Reid also encloses an article from the Telegraph that places blame for this incident on James E. Sullivan, president of the Amateur Athletic Union in the United States.
