THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
30 December 1946
MEMORANDUM
General Marshall is in a better
position to evaluate the effect of
his recall at the present time than
is anybody in the United States.
A public statement after his
arrival in America should have a good
effect on those Americans who through
communist leanings or for other reasons
have criticized the attitude and
actions of the U. S. Government.
I therefore consider it wise to
accept General Marshall's suggestion
that he be recalled.
