275. Editorial Note
The Greek political situation was discussed during the 428th Meeting of the National Security Council on December 10:
“Mr. Bissell then said he had some good news with respect to Greece. Recent Soviet moves, including a speech by Khrushchev and issuance of a stamp honoring the Greek Communists, had outraged the Greeks and produced stronger support for the government and more anti-Communism than had been seen for many years. The Greek public attitude was currently very unfavorable to the Communists.”
The memorandum of discussion at this meeting is in Eisenhower Library, Whitman File, NSC Records.
