Meeting of United States Ambassadors at Rome, March 22–24, 1950

Editorial Note

At the end of the meeting of the United States Ambassadors in London at the end of October 1949, the participants expressed the feeling that periodic conferences should be arranged for similar exchanges of views and reports on the situation in Western Europe. With this in mind during the first two months of 1950 communications were exchanged between Washington, Rome, London, Paris, Moscow, and Frankfort to decide on the site and agenda for the next Ambassadors’ meeting. Documentation on these preparations is in file 120.43/1–3150 ff. For documentation on the 1949 meeting in Paris, see Foreign Relations, 1949, volume IV, pages 469 ff.
