THE SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON November 10, 1945 MEMOR.ANDUM FOR GENERAL VAUGHN FROM SECRETARY OF STATE BYRNES As to the trip Sunday I suggest that the party be limited to President Truman, Prime Minister Atlee, Prime Minister King, the Secretary of State and Admiral Leahy. Halifax stated he does not think he should be included in the party if it is thus limited. He thinks if he is included Prime Minister Atlee would want to include Sir John Anderson. That would mean Prime Minister King would want to include others. I have told Halifax that no scientists or experts are to be taken on the trip, the purpose of which is to give an opportunity to the President and the two Prime Ministers to discuss not only the atomic bomb but other matters affecting their Governments. goos RECORDS NATIONAL SERVICE*
