SECRETARY of State,
DEGLASSIFIED
E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) ór (E)
Washington.
Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972
By NLTHL NARS Date 7.25.75
4955, August 16, 4 p.m.
Bidault Chauvel and other French officials continue
to stress fact that DE Gaulle hopes that his visit to
US will serve to clear up all old misunderstandings so
that US and France can work togEther in closest harmony.
While DE Gaulle is preparing himself to discuss
questions outlined in my 4951, August 16, I am told that
he does not wish to appEar aggressive or unreasonable
and that therEfore he has not as yet decided exactly
how far he should go in presenting French views. From
what these French officials tell me he attaches a very
great importance to SUCCESS of his visit in creating
friendly and favorably atmosphere.
Of course at heart he hopes to get something tangible
out of visit.
