THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
January 2, 1951
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT:
The Soviet Union's reply to suggestions by the U.S.,
U.K. and France for consultations on outstanding differences was
received by the State Department yesterday. A Department spokes-
man told reporters the note was "disappointing, but not a definite
turndown. "
The text of the note has not been released. State wants
to study it carefully before releasing note and commenting on it.
There is naturally great pressure from the press to get guidance
concerning this matter.
It is my recommendation that State provide background
guidance for correspondents as soon as possible in order to limit
off-the-beam stories based on leaks.
