DESLASSIFIED
SECRET
B.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E)
Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972
By WLTCH NARS Date 6.27.75
DEPARTMENT OF STATE

June 12, 1945
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Publicity of French Withdrawal
from Northwestern Italy.
It is possible that in your press conference to-
morrow you may be asked about the situation in North-
western Italy.
In the Agreement signed yesterday at Marshall
Alexander's headquarters, providing for the withdrawal
of French troops, it was specified that Alexander would
recommend to the British and American Governments that
no announcement be made on this matter.
In the absence of a specific French request, it
is the Department's feeling that any announcement from
our side might needlessly humiliate the French and serve
to keep open a painful subject which we are anxious to
close.
Consequently I suggest that you decline comment on
this subject if it is brought up at the press conference.
