In a July 1 memorandum to the President, Bundy commented that Ball felt a letter to Papandreou was needed as a stern reminder of the dangers created by Papandreou’s resistance to real negotiations. Bundy further commented: “Papandreou will not like this letter, any more than Inonu liked your letter of June 5. But that is not the point now.” (Johnson Library, National Security File, Memos to the President—McGeorge Bundy, Vol. 6)
