MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT

Item No. 5

Meeting with Congressional Leaders on Atomic Energy

The President approved the list of persons attached as Item G of my briefing book. I have not yet had a chance to talk with Secretary Johnson about the list. The President believes that probably Thursday night at 8 o'clock at the Blair House would be the best time. He will inquire about it and let me know later. If I do not hear by tomorrow noon, I should be reminded.

(Later - I talked with Secretary Johnson, who concurred in the list and the time of meeting. He believed that Senator McMahon should have impressed on him the fact that the list was the Senator's own suggestion and that he shared responsibility for the security aspects of the meeting.)
