This memorandum actually carries the date of November 10, which presumably is the date it was typed. This same memorandum with a November 12 date was sent on November 12 to Congressman Vorys (USUN Files). Wainhouse in drafting the November 12 memorandum to Vorys changed the name “Mansfield” to “Vorys” in the last paragraph.↩
