8858. Eyes only Ambassador from the Secretary. Please deliver following to Selwyn Lloyd:
“Dear Selwyn:
“Was distressed to see article in New York Herald Tribune yesterday by Don Cook referring to Macmillan. Actually, every reference made by [Page 869] President or myself or members of the Delegation with reference to Paris meetings underlined fine attitude Prime Minister and the strengthening of ties between us. Cannot possibly figure motives behind story but wanted you to know personally how deeply I deplore it.
“Looking forward to seeing you next week.
“As ever, Signed: Chris.”
