No. 87 NAI DFA London Embassy F/132/1/2
Letter from Seán Nunan to Frederick H. Boland (London)
(305/14/212)
Dublin, 23 January 1952

He made these remarks in an off-the-record discussion to members of the working press at a lunch in the Mayflower, Washington. Apparently, the understanding was that the remarks could be quoted if the source was not identified.
