Remarks following a Meeting at the White House With Governor Stevenson and Senator Sparkman

August 12, 1952

GOVERNOR, it has been a pleasure to have you and the Senator here and have you meet all the staff, and to see the White House that you will occupy after the 4th--the 20th day of January--I almost gave you 2 months there.

The meeting has been very satisfactory from my viewpoint. We have discussed various things. The details will be worked out at a later date, but I think we are both happy and satisfied that the meeting took place. I am sure that I am.

NOTE: The President spoke to members of the press at 4 p.m. outside his office at the White House.

Governor Adlai Stevenson stated that he had "had a very pleasant opportunity to lunch with the President and members of the Cabinet." He added that he and Senator Sparkman appreciated the opportunity for a briefing on the international situation, and that they were glad to talk with the President about the campaign. He stated that he was deeply grateful to the President for his offer of cooperation.

The text of brief remarks by Senator John Sparkman was also released.
