                   MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT             
 
                                                            
 
 
The covering memorandum from the British Embassy stated that 
      the Ministry. of Information in London wished to be informed 
      if you decide to release the Prime Minister's message to the 
      press, and if so at what time. Perhaps, therefore, someone at 
      the White House could telephone my office about your decision 
     so that it could be communicated to the British Embassy
