...spokesmen said the visit was "informal but official." The less friendly U.S. embassy underlined the "nonpolitical" significance of the visit by keeping away from all ceremonies on the Navy's behalf, and limiting official recognition of Admiral Conolly's presence to a private cocktail party in the chargé d'affaires' home.
