MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT:
The following has just come to me from Eisenhower.
The message which he mentions is the one you sent to
Mr. Johnston upon receipt of Stalin's reply yesterday.
II hope it is fitting for me to register
my extreme satisfaction with the message sent
to Mister Johnston at Stockholm. Two nights
ago when the Prime Minister called me up upon
his first receipt of the message from Sweden,
I advised him strongly to take the attitude
expressed in your (the President's) message.
He agreed completely that the offer looked
like a last desperate attempt to create a
schism between ourselves and the Russians.
In every move we make these days we are try-
ing to be meticulously careful in this regard. "
