MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
CALL OF THE DOMINICAN AMBASSADOR ON NOVEMBER 26
In connection with the call of Señor Emilio García
Godoy, Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, scheduled
at twelve noon on Monday, November 26, the following in-
formation may be of interest.
1. The Ambassador plans to depart for his country
on November 28. He is thought to be under instructions
from President Trujillo to call at the White House prior
to his departure.
2. The Ambassador might refer to an uncomplimentary
article about the Dominican President that appeared in
the November 19 issue of TIME magazine. The article is
substantially accurate in its description of the Trujillo
dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. When Ambassador
Godoy recently discussed the article with an officer of
the State Department, he was reminded that the United
States Government exercises no control over the press in
this country. The comment was made that criticism of
Government officials would appear to be a small price to
pay for a free press.
3. When Ambassador Godoy inquired concerning a rumor
that arms might be supplied from Mexico to start an
anti-Trujillo revolution, it was suggested that his Govern-
ment take this up with the Mexican Government.
4. Because of the generally disreputable nature of
the present Dominican regime, it is recommended that
Ambassador Godoy be received with a minimum of cordiality.
