February 14, 1951 Memorandum for: Secretary of State From: The President Mrs. Mesta has been invited to be one of the principal speakers at the General Federation of Women's Clubs which meets in Houston on May 18th. She has also been asked to speak to the San Francisco League of Women Voters in San Francisco in May, and the National Woman's Party is anxious for her to be their principal speaker at their convention at the Statler Hotel here in Washington. It seems to me that it would be a good plan to direct Mrs. Mesta to come home on official business so she could keep these engagements as these organizations are not political.
