Lord Inverchapel told reporters that he had not delivered any note to Mr. Acheson. Discussing President Truman's projected meeting with Congressional leaders of both parties, the White House Press Secretary, Mr. Charles G. Ross. said that "in all probability there will be an announcement at that time as to his plans regarding the Greek situation."
