TRUMAN
JOINT STATEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE
ARCHIVES SERVICE AND For
UNITED STATES AND GENERAL DE GAULLE,
"NATIONAL
PRESIDENT OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVFRNMENT
RECORDS
OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC
The visit of General de Gaulle, President of the Pro-
visional Government of the French Republic, to the President of the United
States of America, has been marked by an important exchange of views be-
tween the two Chiefs of State, who, in the course of their first meeting,
expressed their sentiments of mutual high esteem.
The conversations, which began immediately after General
de Gaulle's arrival in Washington, have made possible a thorough discussion
of a wide range of subjects, among them those of most immediate interest
to the two governments.
Subsequent to the second conversation between President
Truman and General de Gaulle, and at their request, the Secretary of State,
Mr. Byrnes, and Foreign Minister, Monsieur Bidault, had during two days a
full and frank discussion of political and economic questions in which the
two countries are deeply interested.
Following those discussions, both the Chiefs of State, and
the Secretary of State and the French Foreign Minister, have fully recognized,
in the course of a further meeting, the fundamental harmony between French
and American aims in the construction of the postwar world and have expressed
their readiness to act in accordance with this mutual understanding by estab-
lishing an even closer cooperation brtween the two countries.
