226 FOP SLORL August 10, 1950. MEMORANDUM OF COMVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT Item No. 2 Mr. Spofford's Return and Report The President will be very glad indeed to see Mr. Spofford before he goes baok. I discussed with the President briefly, for the purpose of getting his general point of viev rather than a decision, the (rincipal points which we had discussed with Mr. Spofford this morning; that is, (1) the need for a unified NAT staff and, eventually, a unified command; (2) the necessity for a unified production board; (1) the necessity for decisions to station moro Amerioan and British troops in Europe. The President was favorably inclined to all of these ideas. I told him that the matter would be taken up with the Defense Establishment and would resch nia in an orderly way, even though it might result in some strong differences of opinion.
