ADDRESS OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON 25, D. c. DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON August 30, 1951 a MEMORANDUM FOR MRS. HELM: I am attaching a tentative program for the visit of Princess Elizabeth and her husband, which, you will note, has been approved by the President and is being submitted to the Princess for her approval. As far as we can ascertain at the moment, those staying at Blair House in addition to the Princess and the Duke would be an equerry, a lady-in-waiting, a maid and a valet. Their names are not yet available. Since the equerry and ady-in-waiting accompany the Princess and the Duke at all times, I would assume that they would return to Blair House after the recep- tion at the National Press Club. The matter of the equerry and lady-in-waiting being present at the private luncheon on Thursday, October 25 is, at the present time, being taken up with the Princess and we will 1et you know as soon as possible as to her decision. It is planned that the dinner given by the President and Mrs. Truman will be the usual small one of eighteen persons, white tie. Müir Acting Chief of Protocol Enclosure: Tentative program.
