Editorial Note
Mr. Jessup reported that at a dinner in New York given for Ambassador Gromyko by Secretary-General Lie on the evening of July 8, he had been asked by Gromyko “whether we would be prepared to introduce a resolution at the next meeting of the Security Council. I said that it seemed to me that it would be clearly necessary for the Security Council to act if the current reports were confirmed. I asked him what his view was. He said that I would recall that they had generally voted with us on this question and indicated that they would be prepared to vote for a resolution under Chapter VII.” (Memorandum of conversation, July 9, by Mr. Jessup, 501.BB Palestine/7–948)
