MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
. 3. ARCHIVES and MATIONAL RECORDS AND
Participants:
Secretary Pace
Mr. Acheson
The Secretary telephoned Mr. Pace about Mr. Byroade's
status. The Secretary said he was very apologetic about not
having taken the matter up directly with Mr. Pace. The
Secretary said that he had understood that Mr. Webb had mentioned
the matter to Mr. Pace and that Mr. Pace had approved, but the
Secretary felt he should have talked with Mr. Pace himself.
Mr. Pace assured the Secretary that he understood perfectly
and asked him not to worry about it at all.
The Secretary said that he was now writing a letter to
Senator Connally informing him that Mr. Byroade had been
accepted into the Service and that if the Senate confirms him, he
will resign from the Army and take his oath as Assistant Secretary,
but he will not take his oath until his resignation has been aded
upon. Mr. Acheson asked Mr. Pace if he could say to
Senator Connally that he had spoken to Mr. Pace and that
Mr. Pace had told him the resignation would be acted upon
promptly. Mr. Pace assured Mr. Acheson that that would be
the case.
The Secretary said that in some ways he regretted having
asked Mr. Byroade to take the appointment because he felt
that in giving up his Army status Mr. Byroade was making a
very great sacrifice. However, he was an excellent person
and was very much needed in the position he was about to take.
Mr. Pace said that he hoped that they could organize the matter
in such a fashion that from a long-range point of view Mr. Byroade
would not suffer.
