28-A 1046 Nov 25 346 November 27,1952 32+ 383 MEMORANDUM FOR s/s Subject: Trieste On Tuesday afternoon the Secretary spoke briefly to Foreign Secretary Eden regarding Trieste. He said he urged Eden to consider theposition which we understood had now been worked out between the British Foreign Office and our Embassy in London. The Secretary told Mr. Eden he thought the Depart- ment of State and the Foreign Office were nov agreed to proceed on the Trieste plan and that what was required was that Mr. Eden should inform himself fully and give the green light from the British side. Mr. Eden indicated that this vas his intention. The Secretary remarked to me that he did not mention an approach to the French nor go into the details of the plan because he felt that Eden was not intimately familiar with the subject and vould depend almost entirely on the recommendation which the Foreign Office would make to him. He said that in effect he had told Mr. Eden to have a look at the plan and reverse himself on his previous position on the matter. JCK DECLASSIFIED E.
