According to the brief statement issued to the press on November 18 (Department of State Bulletin, November 28, 1949, page 829, and Public Papers of the Presidents: Harry 8. Truman, 1949, page 572), the President took the occasion to congratulate the Greek leaders on the victories won by the Greek national forces over the guerrilla movement. The President also assured his callers of the continued interest of the United States in the welfare and security of the Greek people. No additional record has been found in the files of the Department of State regarding the substance of the conversation.
