My dear Mr.President:
 
      With reference to our telephone conversation of this morning, 
      I am enclosing herewith for your consideration a suggestion of 
      what you might wish to say at your press conference tomorrow 
      with regard to the British-Italian Agreement.
 
      
 
 
I have spoken on the telephone to the secretary and he is 
      in accord with the general lines of this suggestion.
 
      
 
 
Believe me
 
      Faithfully yours.
 
      Enclosure.
 
      The President,
 
      The White House.
