First Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the United States and France, Secretary Dulles’ Residence, Washington, July 12, 1953, 3 P.M. 1

1. Attached to the source text was a cover sheet which stated that it had been prepared by Bonsai and was being circulated as STF Special MIN 2. No participants are enumerated in the source text, but the list printed here is that which appears in the record (STF MIN 1, p. 1643) of the discussion on Indochina and would presumably be the same for both discussions.
