You mentioned that perhaps when I was next in Washington,
we might get together again for a longer session. I expect
to be in Washington on Thur nd through the
evening of Friday, June 27, business but
especially to see you. I can a in Was ington again, on my
way to or from New York, on the 24th of July or Saturday,
July 26 if these dates are more convenient for you..
These are certainly interesting and stimulating days,
and my impression from way out here and from what informa-
tion reaches me is that the administration is moving with
increasing confidence and precision and, as always, in a
cool and reflective fashion. I hope this impression is
taking hold in the country for, of course, a great deal is
at stake as far as public attitudes are concerned and not
least in this part of the country.
We are delighted that the President persuaded John
McCone to join the front ranks of his administration. I
have gotten to know him very well indeed. In fact, we are
very good friends, and there are few people in the country
whom I respect as highly for administrative skill and a
reflective approach to the great problems of state. He and
Rosemary have just finished anew house, and I know, and I
am sure the President does, what a great sacrifice it means
to them to uproot themselves from the home and environment
they love to enter the lists in Washington. His judgment
in any matter I have ever consulted with him upon, including
political affairs where I have been involved in the dis-
cussions, is beyond compare. I merely add this paragraph
PERSONAL
Dear Allen:
It was good of you to see me in your busy day when I
was last in Washington, and, as always, I came away refreshed
and reassured.

Mr. Dulles -2-

because I don?t know how well you know him. Your brother,
of course, knows him very well for, according to my infor-
mation, he and Wriston tried to persuade John at one stage
to come aboard in the State Department.
With all the best,
Sincerely,
Mr. Allen Dulles
