DECLASSIFIED Paterline E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) LTR KOGAN TO GUSTAFSON 120.72 By NLT-NC NARS Date 7.16.75 Text of a telegram from Mr. Bevin to Lord Halifax dated October 19th, 1945. TOP SECRET AND PERSONAL You will know from my telegram No. 10440 that the Prime Minister suggested to the President an early meeting at which the international aspects of atomic energy could be discussed with the President and Mr. Mackenzie King. The President replied on Wednesday suggesting a meeting at any time before October 27th or between November 5th and November 14th. After discussion with Mr. Mackenzie King the Prime Minister has telegraphed proposing November 11th. 2. Some public announcement will have to be made and we are anxious that terms of the announcement and its timing should be carefully concerted with the American authorities. The Prime Minister has therefore told the President that he is asking you to get in touch with the President on this matter. 3. As regards the terms of the announcement we suggest that it would be best to say that, as already foreshadowed in statements by the President arrangements are being made for a discussion to take place between the President, the Prime Minister and Mr. Mackenzie King on the whole problem of atomic energy. 4. As regards timing, we feel that an announcement ought to be made early in November some days before the Prime Minister leaves this country. There may well be a demand for a debate in Parliament on aotmic energy before the Prime Minister leaves. This we would resist. But since the visit is bound to become known it seems to us that it would be best to announce it beforehand and thus avoid any impression that we wished to treat it as secret.
