Letter to Ferenc Nagy, chairman of the Assembly of Captive European Nations, in full: "Commencing during the week of March 12, I and other senior officials of the Agency will be fully occupied for approximately two weeks with appearances before the House Subcommittee on Appropriations. However, after that time I would be pleased to meet with a delegation of the Assembly of Captive European Nations at a mutually convenient time. May I ask that you contact my Special Assistant, Mr. Reed Harris, and work out with him an appropriate date?" In fine condition, with a short tear to the top edge.
