Memorandum by John C. Ross, Senior Adviser to the United States Delegation, to the Political Officers⁵⁰

secret

[New York,] November 16, 1946.

The question of whether there should be any change in the Department’s slates for the elections coming up on Tuesday has been reconsidered in the Department and the decision reached that there should be no change in our present slates.

It follows, therefore, that all of the political officers and others concerned should campaign actively among the other delegations in support of our slates with particular reference to Belgium for the Security Council.
