Memorandum by the Secretary-General of the United States Mission at the United Nations ( Winslow ) to the Director of the Office of Controls ( Boykin )
Subject: Visit of Mr. Herve L’Heureux to New York
The results of Mr. L’Heureux’s visit to the Mission on Tuesday1 even exceeded our greatest expectations. I believe the results were mutually very beneficial not only with respect to finding immediate satisfactory solutions to certain former problems but also in the line of laying a basic ground-work of understanding and collaboration which will prevent the development of many previously recurring types of problems.
We were very favorably impressed with Mr. L’Heureux’s additional suggestions that: (1) other personnel be encouraged to visit the Mission and UN for similar reasons, and (2) great mutual value would [Page 62] result from having a liaison officer from the Immigration Division be permanently detailed to the Visa Division and vice versa, in a manner comparable to the present detailing of a representative from the Legal Adviser’s office to the Visa Division.
We are very grateful for your having suggested and arranged the visit of Mr. L’Heureux, and we will certainly be prepared at all times to receive any others for whom you think a visit to the Mission and UN would be helpful.
