315. Memorandum of a Conversation, Department of State, Washington, October 22, 19571

Washington, October 22, 1957

SUBJECT

  • Preparations for the Macmillan Visit

[Here follows the same list of participants as Document 312.]

The Secretary told Mr. Lloyd that the President was having a luncheon for Mr. Spaak on Friday2 and suggested that Mr. Macmillan should join them at about 2 p.m. for a half-hour meeting of the three together. The Foreign Secretary said that he was sure Mr. Macmillan would like to do this. The Secretary commented that it would be unfortunate to have the visits overlap without a meeting of all three [Page 807] and that perhaps there might be need for more than one half-hour meeting.3
