UN Cormenstone filed 10-25-49 Oct24 85.A August 30, 1949 #1 GRIORTY MEMORANDUM FOR HONORABLE DEAN RUSK, X 20 Deputy Under Secretary of State. Dear Dean: I have kept the original of your memorandum about the President attending the laying of the cornerstone of the United # Nations building on October 24th. Frankly, the President hopes to be able to take part in these ceremonies but, with the situation in Congress as it is, he does not feel that x419 misc. he wants to make any firm commitment just now. We are keeping this in our pending file, and I do hope that a little later on it can be worked out. Thank you. HARPY TRUMAN NATIONAL LIBRARY ARCHIVES RECORDS AND SERVICE U.S. GOVERNMENT MATTHEW J.
