No. 461
Editorial Note
On February 11 the Delegations of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France gave a dinner and reception for the participants in the Berlin Conference. Each of the four delegations sent eight officials to the dinner while the reception which followed was open to much wider participation. No record of the dinner has been found in Department of State files but occasional references to it in miscellaneous memoranda indicate that Dulles, Bohlen, Conant, Jackson, Nash, Merchant, MacArthur, and General Timberman attended for the United States. From the other delegations only Molotov and Gromyko, Eden and Hayter, and Bidault and François-Poncet are mentioned in connection with the dinner. (Conference files, lot 60 D 627, CF 215)
