Memorandum of Conversation, by the Secretary of State

The Soviet Ambassador called at my request. I remarked that I had intended to invite him to come to see me yesterday, but that a funeral which I attended had prevented my doing so.

He was very curious about what took place in the Churchill conversations.82 I replied that I could not tell him for the reason that I had had no opportunity for a talk with the President, who is out of the city for some days.
