ME MOR .ANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: The Rosenberg Case
Ambassador Dillon has recently informed the Secretary by cable
of his deep concern, shared by certain other United States Mission
Chiefs in Europe, with the adverse effect in Western Europe of the
execution of the Rosenbergs. He strongly recommends that the
sentence be reappraised "in terms of the higher national interest. 17
In view of the strength of the Ambassador¹s beliefs in the matter
I believe that you would wish to see his telegram and my reply. I
suggest that this exchange also be made available to Mr. C. D. Jackson
in view of the propaganda implications involived.
