A separate memorandum of this conversation covered discussion of Kamel’s speech to the Organization of Arab Students on August 29, which Congressman Halpern, in a letter to Herter on September 13, asserted was interference in the U.S. election campaign. (Ibid., 601.86B11/9–1460) The letter was released to the press on the same day. In summarizing this part of the conversation for transmission to the Embassy in Cairo, Jones noted that Kamel appeared uneasy about the effect which the Halpern letter might have on Nasser’s visit, but concluded that the Ambassador’s remarks on August 29 appeared to fall short of actual interference in the political campaign.
