WENORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
with A bassador Griffis
During the course of Ambassador Griffis's call
today he informed tre as follows:
First, he had submitted to the President his
resignation as Ambassador of Egypt;
Second, that for some months he would continue
to erform his United Nations duties in connection
with the Arab refugee problem in Palestine;
Third, he had informed the President that, as
much as he appreciated the importance of the Argentine
post, he had regretfully cone to the conclusion that
he could not accept it. He said that he had erformed
two difficult and trying assignments - one in Poland
and one in Egypt, and he felt that after the Palestine
refugee problem was over he would retire to private
life. He said that he would have gone either to
London or Paris because of his great interest in those
posts; that, while he was disappointed, he had no
feeling of annoyance or bitterness about it.
I presented again the considerations which
made us believe that the Argentine post was one of
the most important that we had and that he was
ideally equipped to discha rge it. However, this
had no effect upon his decision.
