.FOP SECDET DECLASSIFIED E. O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E) Dept. of State letter, Aug. 9, 1973 By NLT- HC ; NARS Dato 5-21-25 DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON October 6, 1947 MEMORANDUM FOR MR. CONNELLY SUBJECT: Conversation between Secretary Marshall and Mr. Spaak, Belgian Prime Minister. Mr. Spaak had a conversation in New York on October 3 with the Secretary concerning Belgian partici- pation in industrial application of atomic energy, a record of which is attached. The Secretary has asked that this record of conversation be transmitted to the President. We understand that Mr. Spaak is to call on the President at noon today and a memorandum covering this visit is attached. The two points on uranium on which Mr. Spaak is con- cerned are: (a) He hopes that it will soon be possible for him to make some disclosures about wartime agree- ments between the United States, Belgium and the United Kingdom, which would reveal that partial return for Congo uranium ore would be made so that Belgium would receive the benefits of industrial applications of atomic energy when these are developed. (b) He wishes to obtain some information about the prospects for development of atomic energy for industrial purposes. I am informed by the people handling this in the Department that both questions are under intensive study within the Government and it is hoped that a definite answer can be given to Mr. Spaak within a short time.
