MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT
Item 1. North Atlantie Pact
I went over with the President the alternative drafts of
Article 5. He believed that we should propose to the Committee
Draft 1-A, that is the one referring to 'including the use of
armed force". If it was absolutely necessary after a stout fight
he thought Draft D might be possible. The President will talk to
Senator Connally over the telephone and, if possible, ask him to
come to the Blair House this evening. The purpose of this talk
will be to impress upon Senator Connally that I am speaking for
the President with his full knowledge andysupport.
