Mr. Charles Murphy of the White House telephoned the
Secretary this morning. He said he had talked with the President
and the President wanted him to discuss with the Secretary the
matter of a speech by the President on foreign policy shortly after
the President's return. The President spoke with the congressional
leaders yesterday and they are in favor of it.
Mr. Murphy said he would like to talk with someone in the
Department about the draft speech after he has had a talk with
Mr. Nitze tomorrow concerning a memorandum on the directives
of January 31.
The Secretary told Mr. Murphy he would call him tomorrow
to set a time for discussion of the draft now under preparation in
the Department.
The Secretary inquired of Mr. Murphy how long he thought the
speech should be. Mr. Murphy said he thought 15 minutes was better
for the President, but he doubted if the subject could be adequately
covered in 15 minutes and thought it should be 20 to 25 minutes. It
was also agreed between them that the speech should be made from
the White House over the radio without an audience.
