Ambassador Francis B. Sayre is calling on you on Thursday,
May 22, at 12:15 P.M., in order to pay his respects before
resigning his present post as United States Representative in
the Trusteeship Council, effective June 1, a difficult post

personal representative to the Episcopal Church in Japan.
You may wish to express your appreciation for Ambassador Sayre's
most able and devoted service in the Trusteeship Council.
You will recal] that on May 19 you approved my recommendation
that Ambassador John J. Muccio succeed Ambassador Sayre as

Ambassador Sayre has been informed of his successor, but there
will be no public announcement of Ambassador Muccio's appointment
until he has been formally recommended for this post.
