March 30, 1949
Congressman King of California called this afternoon to
speak to the Secretary. In the Secretary's absence, he spoke
with me.
Mr. King indicated that he had been appointed by the
California Delegation to chair a sub-committee which is
investigating the present quota restrictions on United States
motion pictures in England. Mr. King said that Mr. Webb was
seeing Mr. Eric Johnston tomorrow on this matter and that he
hoped to have a word with Mr. Acheson after Mr. Webb had
seen Mr. Johnston. He mentioned the fossibility of a large
group of the California Delegation meeting to see Mr. Acheson
later on the problem, but wanted initially an appointment for
himself alone.
I told Congressman King that the Secretary's calendar was
extremely full for the next several days and asked if the matter
could wait until next week. He said that would be satisfactory
and 1 agreed to try to set up an appointment about Wednesday
of next week. I promised to call him back within the next day
or two and confirm the appointment. I also agreed to let Mr. Webb
know of Congressman King's interest in the matter.
