Darnell, Chief Performance Evaluation Branch in answer to Tuthill's request for his standing in Class 2 and end-user reports; Robert Brandin; Stuart Van Dyke of International Cooperation Administration about Bill Minot, ICA and other topics; Frank White of American Machine & Foundry Compnay; Douglas Dillon; Eleanor Lansing Dulles, Special Assistant to the Director, Office of German Affairs about declassification of certain material in the Bonn Embassy; George L.

Batt; Michael Harris about destroying all his old files; Daniel F. Margolies, Officer-in-Charge of German Economic Affairs; Oliver Tuthill; James Conant about his early Paris experiences and his opinion of German leadership; Roy Roberts of the Kansas City Star about his editorial and others. Stated on a March 21, 1956 press release, Tuthill is reassigned as Senior Economic Officer at the American Embassy, Paris (USOM to France, Counselor with Personal Rank of Minister), but the official telegram does not arrive until June 15, 1956 after Tuthill is in Paris. A July 18, 1956 letter signed by Dwight Eisenhower officially accords him the rank of Minister during his tenure as Director, Office of Economic Affairs, American Embassy, Paris, France. Some of the correspondence is about how the State Department is handling assignments, leave time, language courses, money and other things. Suez Canal, Germany, France, Mideast and other foreign matters are topics mentioned.
