MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HUMELSINE
ARCHIVES NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDS
AND
This morning after the Cabinet, Mr. Don Dawson told me
that the matter of Ambassador Cowen to be Ambassador to
Belgium had been completely cleared and approved by the
President. I asked him whether he wished anything further or
whether he would proceed to handle the matter when the proper
time arrived.
Mr. Dawson said it was customary to take two steps. One
was to send a paper through the White House asking for permission
to ask for an agrement. The second was to send over the nomination
papers when the agrement was received. He said that he would like
these two steps followed in this case. Therefore, when we are
ready to ask for an agrement, we should send a paper to the White
House to receive specific approval. I understand from him that
this is purely a matter of record and does not involve any re-
consideration.
