A, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1953 - 2:59 p.m. TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL BROWNELL The Secretary telephoned him to add a word to their previous conversation on the Rosenberg case. He mentioned that Jean Monnet had volunteered the information that Spaak felt this was the most troublesome issue affecting relations between the United States and Europe.
