June 12,1950
Mr. David Niles telephoned the Secretary this afternoon
to say that Abraham Fineberg, who is connected with the
Weizmann Institute, was going to London to invite Churchill
to the annual dinner of this organization, and wanted to know
if the State Department could appropriately second the invi-
tation.
The Secretary said he thought this would be inadvisable
and that such action would appear to be putting pressure on
Mr. Churchill and would also be establishing a precedent.
Mr. Niles said he understood perfectly the Secretary's
attitude but he wanted to be able to tell Mr. Fineberg he had
presented the proposal to Mr. Acheson.
