MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
Participants:
Mr. Lovett, Secretary of Defense
Mr. Acheson
The Secretary returned Mr. Lovett's telephone call
this morning. Mr. Acheson said he had talked to the responsible
people in the Department and, if Defense can spare Sullivan, they
had indicated that we would welcome his accompanying us--but
just as a helper to the Secretary (not as a Defense representa-
tive).
Mr. Lovett said that there is an alternative which might
suit the Secretary better. There are in the Navy Department,
in the section which works on the conference subject matters,
Captains J.F. Enright and Eller who have both worked with the
State Department. One of these can be fully briefed by the JCS
and then go out with the Secretary. Mr. Lovett said they thought there
would be some advantage in having Enright as compared with
Sullivan.
Mr. Acheson said he would ask here and then call Mr. Lovett
after lunch. Mr. Lovett said he should be informed today.
Mr. Lovett said that Defense would send only one of the
two men named.
Mr. Acheson telephoned Mr. Lovett this afternoon and said
that the appropriate people in the Department believe that the one
who would help them most would be Sullivan. They have worked
with him and they know him, and believe he could easily com-
municate with Mr. Lovett's office and the other people in Defense.
Mr. Lovett said he would take care of that right away.
