120. Memorandum of a Conversation, German Embassy, Washington, May 28, 19571
In a group consisting of the Chancellor, Von Brentano, the Vice President, David Bruce and myself (Weber interpreting), we discussed a possible visit of the Vice President to Berlin in connection with the dedication of the Benjamin Franklin Auditorium and the possibility of the timing of this which would be appropriate in relation to the German elections. Considerable interest in this was shown by the Chancellor and it was left that Ambassador Bruce and Minister Von Brentano would try to work something out.
(Ambassador Bruce can probably fill in this memorandum somewhat.)2
