83. Memorandum From President Kennedy to His Special Assistant for National Security Affairs (Bundy)0
Washington, July 10,
1961.
I want a report from the State Department, I asked Secretary Rusk about this, on whose idea it was for me to send the letters to the Middle Eastern Arab leaders.1 The reaction has been so sour I would like to know whose idea it was, what they hoped to accomplish and what they think we have now accomplished.
