MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
WITH THE PRESIDENT
. s ARCHIVES *MATIONAL SERVICE RECORDS AND
Item No. 6
(For limited distribution: To Messrs. Barrett and
Hickerson, only.)
Mrs. Roosevelt has recommended to the President
that on UN Day arrangements should be made for a general
period of prayer, and that this should be inaugurated by
the President, who should have at the White House a
Catholic Priest, a Protestant minister, and a Rabbi, to
read over the VOA a prayer which has been agreed upon.
The President approves of the idea of a period
of prayer throughout the world. He is not favorably
inclined toward the idea of dramatizing or publicizing
this through a ceremony at the White House, but believes
that the prayer should be conducted in the places of
worship of the people.
He does not ask that we do anything about this,
but wishes me, when Mrs. Roosevelt raises it, to give
her my impression along these lines.
