280 ARCHIVES AND NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDS for SECRET e October 19, 1950 Meeting with the President Item 1. Meeting of the President and General MacArthur The President went over with me his meeting with General MacArthur and also discussed his San Francisco speech. I left with him the summary of foreign opinion, both on the Wake meet- ing and on the San Francisco speech. The President was highly pleased with the results of the meeting. He told me that he had before the meeting been aware of the possibility of things going wrong and he was, therefore, particularly glad that all of the pitfalls had been avoided and that the meeting had been successful. The President spoke very highly of Ambassador Muccio and was particularly gratified at the obviously good relationship which existed between the Ambassador and General MacArthur. The President believed that the meeting had given him an under- standing and feel of the situation which he had not had before. D. A.
