TOP SECRE. ARCHIVER "INATIONAL SERVICE' RECORDS AND 207 July 19, 1951 MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT Item 1. Message from General Eisenhower on European Army. The President had not seen General Eisenhower's telegram addressed to General Marshall and me, nithough I understand that a copy had been sent to the White House. We read together General Elsenhower's message and the reply which had been agreed upon between General Marshall and me. The President expressed himself as much pleased, both with the message and with the reply, and hoped that the presence of an observer from SHAPE at the Paris Conference and possibly at some time the personal intervention of the General, might speed up the whole development of the matter.
