Discussion with the President
Item 3. Japanese Peace Treaty
RECORD3 AND
=
Mr. Rusk:
Mr. Butterworth:
After the Cabinet meeting I outlined to the President and
Mr. Early, who was representing Mr. Johnson, the thoughts which
had been going through our minds and which we had discussed
with Mr. Bevin as to a possible procedure for going forward
with the Japanese peace treaty, stressing the fact that these
were purely exploratory discussions and that nothing had been
or would be agreed to until, with proper staff work, it had
gone to the President for his apprcval.
I said that as a first step we were going to ask the NME
to ask the Joint Chiefs to advise us on the essential security
requirements from the United States point of view and that my
talk this morning was merely an explanation of the reasons for
that request. Mr. Early said that the matter would be given
prompt attention. It was understood that if we wrote a letter,
it would contain merely the request for advice. Mr. Early
thought it was unnecessary to write, but the President was
inclined to believe that the question might be sharpened for
consideration if it were reduced to writing and that it might
be useful to have a record of the request.
