No. 479
Memorandum of Conversation With Foreign Secretary Eden, by the Secretary of State, June 27, 19541
confidential
June 27, 1954

I mentioned the desirability of setting up one or more informal study groups which, on an unofficial basis, would consider some of the common problems of our countries, where there were major divergencies of policy.

Mr. Eden said he thought this matter needed to be thought over and he would think it over.
