338. Memorandum From Paul C. Daniels to the Secretary of State
Source: Department of State, Central Files, 702.022/12–957. Secret. An earlier memorandum on this subject, including Tabs A–D, was originally drafted by Daniels for Secretary Dulles on November 13, and was cleared by seven interested bureaus. On December 3 Deputy Under Secretary for Political Affairs Robert Murphy gave his tentative clearance while recommending to Daniels “that you recast your memorandum in order to give him [Dulles] a fuller picture of the problem. This revision would not appear to require new clearances.” The source text contains Murphy’s initialed clearance. On January 2, 1958, Daniels informed W. Stratton Anderson, Jr., First Secretary of Embassy at Oslo, in response to two previous letters, that “it has not been possible for the Department to send further information or instructions to your Embassy. This is because some tentative proposals regarding Antarctica which I formulated last November have not yet been given full Departmental approval.” (Ibid., 702.022/12–2357)
