His Excellency Georgi N. Zarubin, newly appointed Ambassador of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, called on me at 2:30 p.m. today to present copies of his credentials and to request an appointment with the President.
During the course of the conversation, which was of a general nature, the Ambassador said that his wife was not with him, giving no indication as to whether or when she might arrive. I told the Ambassador, before he departed, that I would be seeing him here from time to time.
No matters of a political nature were discussed.
