Second Meeting of the Working Group Participating in the Washington Exploratory Talks on Security, July 14, 1948

Mr. Reber presented a tentative breakdown of an agenda constructed from the records of the five meetings of the ambassadorial group. The working group, before turning its attention to an examination of this agenda, discussed the current military talks in London, referring in particular to the question of publicity and the “non-member” character of United States participation. The memorandum of this meeting, not printed, is in the Department of State files, 840.20/7–1448.
