The Secretary read the attached memorandum and
agreed that these were the points on which it was
necessary to obtain a decision. He decided that the
best way in which to get a decision promptly was to
arrange a meeting with Secretary Johnson, Gen eral
Bradley, Mr. Harriman and Mr. Spofford. He telephoned
Secretary Johnson (see attached transcript of conversa-
tion) and arranged for such a meeting to take place
after the Cabinet meeting tomorrow. He felt that point
3 was not of concern to the Defense Establishment and
should be taken up separately by Mr. Harriman with Mr.
RECORDS
Foster. It should, therefore, be elimin ted from the
memorandum which will be shown to Secretary Johnson
as
and General Bradley at tomorrow's meeting. He felt
that all four points, however, should be cleared with
the President.
The Secretary asked whether it was advisable to
have Ohly or Lemnitzer accompany Spofford. Ohly
felt that it was necessary that they both be here to
prepare the presentation for Congress, but that Jack
Bell should accompany Spofford. The Secretary agreed
to this.
