Dear Mr. President:
I imagine as I am only going to be home from the morning of
the 22nd until the afternoon of the 31st, that you will be
in Independence and not anxious to see me. You know, of
course, that if you want to see me I could arrange to come
to Washington, Friday afternoon the 28th. I can be reached
on the telephone at Hyde Park where I will be from the 23rd
or early morning on the 24th until the afternoon of the
26th. Then I will be in New York until the late afternoon
of the 28th. My telephone in Hyde Park, is Poughkeepsie
la
959, and in New York City it is Circle 7-7272. Then I
will be in Hyde Park until the morning of the 31st when I
leave for Paris.
I am very conscious of the responsibility which has fallen
on my shoulders but I can assure you it is not really very
heavy, for the representatives of the State Department -
Dr. Jessup, Mr. Sandifer, Ambassador Gross of the US Mission
and other members of the delegation with their staffs are
doing the really important work. We are deprived of Ambas-
sador Austin's friendships with the heads of delegations here
who come from the permanent groups in New York and I am
sorry that I do not feel that I can make up for that constant
contact which he had. but I am doing my best and I hope when
the final report is in you will feel satisfied.
It is still my belief that we should do as Mr. Cohen and
I suggested in trying to have General Eisenhower in civilian
clothes, state the purpose of NATO but we have had no answer
to the telegram so I do not know what your thought on this
really is.
There is much of interest to tell you but if I go straight
from Paris to Pakistan and India as the State Department
asked me to do, I am afraid it will be spring before I
get back to report to you. However, much of what I have to
say will keep. It is long range stuff and the others will
tell you. what the thought is on the immediate subjects better
than I can.
With every good wish to you and the family for Christmas and
ATIONAL
the New Year, I am
