Rh WHAT HAS BEEN SAID SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN AND EFFORT TO ASCERTAIN FACTS SHOULD BE MADE BY ALL SIDES. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NOTHING BE RELEASED OF WHAT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED DURING MEETING AS LEAK WOULD BE CALAMITOUS. BELIEVE EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE BY ALL TO THINK SERIOUSLY OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID AND KEEP CONTENTS ABSOLUTELY SECRET.

FAURE AGREED WITH MACMILLAN, STATING THAT HE HAD NEVER EXPECTED DECISION THAT EVENING. EXPERTS SHOULD GET DOWN TO WORK IMMEDIATELY AND PREPARE FOR DECISIONS AS EVENTS ARE CHANGING HOURLY.

A DISCUSSION ENSUED CONCERNING TEXT OF COMMUNIQUE. SECRETARY REJECTED PROPOSAL OF MEETING OF EXPERTS BEFORE NEXT DISCUSSIONS ON INDOCHINA BY FOREIGN MINISTERS NOW SCHEDULED FOR MAY 10.
