Marked "Personal". Boothby asks if BR is in agreement with the "ideas underlying" Churchill's speech in Zurich. As Churchill is now thinking of meeting with European statesmen next year to further the project of a United States of Europe, Boothby relates that Churchill believes an "essential preliminary" to unification to be the formation of a Nuclear All-Party Committee in Great Britain, "ranging from Leo Amery on the right to Victor Gollancz on the left". Boothby has been charged by Churchill to discover the possibility of BR joining such a committee and attending a "exploratory" meeting in London during the next few weeks. The matter is to be kept entirely confidential at this time.
