Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for United Nations Affairs (Wainhouse)

confidential
  • Subject:
  • Presidency of Ninth General Assembly.

Dr. de Beus telephoned me today to inquire whether there was a departmental reaction to the request he put to Mr. Murphy on the possibility of the U.S. withdrawing its support from Prince Wan for the Presidency of the Ninth General Assembly. I told him that I did not know but would ascertain from Mr. Murphy.

Dr. de Beus went on to say that if the Department does not see its way to withdrawing its support from Prince Wan he would like to come in and talk to Mr. Murphy.

I communicated the foregoing conversation to Mr. Murphy this afternoon.
