293. Letter From President Tito to President Eisenhower1

Belgrade, November 20, 1956.

Dear Mr. President: I appreciate highly your letter of November 11th [12th]2 in which you have expressed your view on some current international problems. I intend to reply to your letter more extensively as soon as possible and to present our point of view. I wish, however, to avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for your [Page 757] invitation to visit your country in the course of the coming year. I fully share your belief that we could in direct conversation much better and more thoroughly compare views on the questions which were the subject of our correspondence. I hope that I shall be able to pay this visit in the course of the next year.

With all the best wishes

Sincerely yours,

Josip Broz Tito
