Memorandum of Conversation, by the Secretary of State
top secret
[Washington,] November 7, 1949.
Meeting with the President
Item 1. Atomic Energy
I reported to the President that the Department was making a complete review of the matter of international control and expressed the strong hope that no decisions would be necessary until we had had an opportunity to give the matter real thought and give the President our best judgment.
The President assured me that he was not going to be hurried into decisions and that none would be made until he and I had a chance to discuss the matter thoroughly.
