The Secretary of State to Dr. S. E. Mezes
My Dear Doctor Mezes: Here is the French outline of preparatory work18 which is being carried out by the experts whom they have selected, and of which I spoke to you yesterday. I think that except as to division IV you cover practically everything that is in the list. However, you may find this of considerable interest.
I was very glad to have the opportunity of a conference with you yesterday and am deeply impressed with the thoroughness of the work that is being done. The one thing we must guard against is pre-conceived ideas or theories which will affect the unbiased treatment of the various subjects. I am sure you realize the necessity of this, but it ought to be impressed upon those who are working for you.
Very sincerely yours,
