DEPARTMENT OF STATE THE COUNSELOR July 6, 1948 Mr. Clifford: This is a copy of the note the Secretary handed the Soviet Ambassador today. In delivering the note, the Secretary told the Ambassador that the U.S. Government did not intend to make public the text of the note until a reasonable time for Soviet considera- tion and reply had elapsed. As I told you over the phone, we are taking every precaution here to prevent a leak, and I am sure you will do the same. ARCHIVES RATIONAL RECORDS AND Unites Pholelen BERVICE** Charles E.
