352. Memorandum of Conversation Between Secretary of State Herter and Foreign Secretary Lloyd0
Geneva, June 2, 1959,
noon.
I spoke to Selwyn Lloyd about the fact that I was cabling the President1 suggesting he make a pretty strong statement at his press conference to the effect that nothing that he had seen coming out of Geneva would in any way justify a Summit Conference. To my great surprise, he thought this was an excellent idea and that it might have great influence in changing the atmosphere here so as to give us more hope of reaching some agreement that would justify a Summit Conference.
