DECLASSIFIED SECRET E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E) Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972 By NARS Date 1-29-75 DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON May 26, 1945 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Yugoslavia Dr. Ivan Subasic, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Yugoslavia, is arriving in Washington today from San Francisco, en route to Belgrade. He has informed the Secretary that Marshal Tito has asked him to return ur- gently to his country, and has requested that he be given an opportunity to call at the White House to pay his respects if you so desire to discuss briefly Yugoslavian affairs. I think that it would be useful in our relations with Yugoslavia if you could arrange to receive Dr. Subasic. He expects to stay in Washington a few days, and the interview could therefore take place at the beginning of next week, if agreeable. Attached hereto is a memorandum discussing two problems which you may wish to have in mind in this connection. Acting Secretary SERVICE Attachment: Memorandum entitled Problems in Yugoslav Policy; May 26, 1945.
