alter OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON March 26, 1946 Memorandum for Miss Conway Dear Miss Conway: The President's memorandum concerning Prime Minister Atlee's message of February 25 was called to my attention today. When the matter first came to this office last week I asked the Secretary about it and he had no recollection of the President referring to him the suggested letter drafted by the Secretary of Argiculture. We made a thorough search of our files and find no record of its ever having been referred to the Department through the regular channels. As you know, the Secretary is out of the city, but we expect him to return by the end of the week. If the President wishes the Secretary to comment on the communication, please have a copy of Secretary Anderson's letter sent to us so that it will be available immediately upon the Secretary return and I am sure he will look after it promptly. blonnor Cassie Connor
