The Foreign Minister thanked the President and ex-
pressed the hope that he would have an occasion to come to
Spain as President Eisenhower had done while he was
President.
The President said that President Eisenhower had often
talked to him about his memorable trip to Spain and that
he had been most impressed with the beautiful dining room
where General Franco had hosted a state dinner for him.
The Foreign Minister stated that he had stayed at Blair
House as President Eisenhower's guest and that he had also
met with President Eisenhower in London at the American
Embassy.
The President said that he had not had the opportunity
to follow the very intricate U.S. Spanish negotiations
closely but that it was his understanding that an agree-
ment in principle had been reached.
The Foreign Minister said that Spain was very friendly
to the U.S. and had been SO for 15 years. Spain was the
best example of a country loyal to the U.S. and therefore
it was now very embarassing to have encountered some small
difficulties.
The President stated that true friends can have diffi-
culties but that should not change the nature of their
friendship. He knew full well that Spain was a good friend
of the U.S. and he stressed that the U.S. was also very
friendly towards Spain.
The Foreign Minister congratulated the President on
the success of his recent trip to Europe and the President
replied that he had been sorry not to have been able to go
to Spain, but that he would visit Spain some time during
his term in office.
The President continued that Mrs. Nixon and their two
daughters have also insisted that they wanted to visit Spain,
especially because both daughters spoke Spanish and would
very much like to visit Segovia and Toledo.
The Foreign Minister stated that Spain was fortunate
to receive frequent visits of Americans who came not only
as tourists but who were interested in developing economic
and industrial activities in Spain. Spain had received
over 18 million tourists last year and its industry
