MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: M. Bidault's request for a further interview.
Although in his conversation with you on May 18
M. Bidault did not directly bring up the subject of
General de Gaulle's attendance at a proposed meeting of
the Big Three, it is extremely likely that he will when
he next sees you. Even if he does not do so, I should
like to suggest that you seriously consider the possi-
bility of raising the question yourself.
As you know, this Government has in the past been
held largely responsible by the French Government and
people - and by large sections of the American people -
for the absence of General de Gaulle from the Big Three
meetings. I feel certain that this Government could
take no single step which would be more appreciated by
the French nation and which would do more to improve
our relations with the French than for you to eliminate
from their minds the impression that it is the
United States which is preventing their return to a
status of full equality with the major Allied powers.
To this end, it occurs to me, that you might
reiterate to M. Bidault that there is no definite assur-
ance as yet of a meeting between you, Mr. Churchill and
Marshal Stalin, and add that if this question is
decided in the affirmative, you will be happy to express
to them your entire willingness to have General de Gaulle
participate.
