ARCHIVES RECORDS SERVICE" AND
Accompodations at the
for Secretery Acheson and Perty
In response to your request and my telephone conversation with Joff Kitchen,
I transmi ted to Ed Hastings, General Menager of the Waldorf, the detailed re-
quirements for the Secretary's party.
Hastings has offered to make available, Suite 28-A, in the Waldorf Towers
which is a lunnury suite used by Queen Juliana recently and by the Duke of
Windsor. While the Department might prefer a somewhat lesa luxurious suite, the
fact remeins that it appears to be the only one available that would give the
number of rooms required.
I am attaching a chart of the suite but have peneilled in the two single
adjacent rooms opening off the entrence corridor which can be made available for
the two SY agents. The room marked "Den" is ample to accommodate luncheons or
dinners for as many es twenty people. The bedroom in the northwest corner would
presunably be occupied by Jeff Kitchen who, as you will note, could go into and
out of his room w1 thout passing through the Acheson bedrooms. This room is very
large and could be used as the working offico as well as a bedroom if desired.
I recommend, however, that the maid'a room, which 1a just off the dining room,
be set up as an office.
You will note that there is no bedroom available in this suite for Miss Evans
and the other secretery, but Mr. Hastings has promised us a twin-bed double room
on the floor below the suite from which the suite could be reached very easily
either by a stairway or elevators.
This muite will cost $125 a day plus $15 or $20 a day for the double room
on the 27th floor but, of course, has the advantage of being completely away from
other parts of the hotel and can be given excellent secuit ty protection. Te are
prepared to install an off-prenises extension from the Mission switchboard into
whichever room Jeff Kitchen decides upon as an office.
The Waldorf is also prepered to make a room available for Rudolph Warren if
the Secretary decides to bring his car to New York.
Mr. Hastings has been told that the Secretary and his party will need this
suite from Sunday, October 12 for a period of approximately tio weeks and that it
might be needed again later on.
Please let me kmow immediately if there are any aspects of this arrangement
that are unsatisfactory,
