March 19, 1952 Memorandum for: MARSHAL SHULMAN Department of State Attached are the two pages out of the new draft of the President's migration-escapee message which we discussed on the phone. These correspond to the pages 9 and 10 of the previous draft which I worked out with Arthur Cox of the PSB and which he cleared with CIA, Defense, and George Warren of State. The language on the attached pages is identical with the language that Cox cleared, except for the under- lined sentences. The underlined portion market "A" has been proposed by other members of the White House staff, in order to give more body to the paragraph in which they are placed. The underlined language marked "B" has been pro- posed by Defense and is entirely agreeable to Harriman's office, CIA, and PSB, though corresponding language was once objected to by the State Department. Please let me have the nearest thing you can get to a departmental view on this underlined language just as soon today as possible. As for the rest of the language on these pages, I am going to assume that it is satisfactory to State- as I was informed by PSB-unless I hear to the contrary. And as you will understand, I would be most unhappy if I would hear to the contrary. Richard E. Neustadt 8 a and
