CORCORAN to MISS CONNOR in Secretary of State's Office. CORCORAN then
talked with Secretary BYRNES about HOWIE CORCORAN who was in Europe for
two years. CORCORAN said that CLAY had promised that HOWIE would be
released about September 1, 1945. CORCORAN requested that if HOWIE is
released from Europe that BYRNES should ask to have him assigned

with AMG. BYRNES said he would do this and will take the matter up
with DONALD (RUSSELL) right away.

CORCORAN to DONALD RUSSELL in the State Department (Extension 2961).
CORCORAN said: "I talked to the Justice (Secretary BYRNES) about HOWIE

five minutes on Monday morning to make sure I got it all straightened
out? I got another cable back." TOM said the Justice was "very nice
about it." DONALD told TOM to come any time Monday but requested that
he telephone DONALD prior to his coming.
