MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
Participants: Secretary of Defense Johnson Mr. Acheson
Secretary Johnson telephoned Secretary Acheson this morning to request that Mr. Rusk and our State Department people work with General Burns on all matters, except intelligence. On intelligence matters, they should work directly under Army and Pace. Park Armstrong will work with Mr. Pace on intelligence.
Secretary Acheson said that if that is the way it should be done, then we here in State would do it.
Secretary Johnson said there was no friction at the moment, but this is being done to try to avoid any friction arising.
