Memorandum by the Under Secretary of State (Stettinius)33

[ Washington ,] February 23, 1944.

In my talk with the President on Tuesday, I asked him if he had any instructions to leave with us on the question of the Palestine Resolution. He did not but he is hopeful that the McCloy–Handy testimony may end the matter but if not he continues to feel the Stimson letter should then be made public.
