§ 44. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Lord Privy Seal what facilities are given to the Press relations officer of Her Majesty's Government in Washington to attend Presidential Press conferences.
§ Mr. Ormsby GoreThe Press officer of the British Embassy may attend Presidential Press conferences by applying to the White House Press Office for a visitor's card.
§ Mr. HughesDid this officer attend President Kennedy's first Press Conference at which the momentous news was given that the Soviet Government had released the RB.47 airmen and that President Kennedy said that there were no more U.2 flights to go over the Soviet Union? Why has there been this loud silence from the Foreign Office? Was it informed about it?
§ Mr. Ormsby GoreI think the whole world was informed about it, because there were at least 100 million people looking in.
