‘the President indicated that there was doubt whether Admiral Strauss
would continue to serve beyond his present term.
The Admiral expounded
on his reasons for this. I said that if he should not continue to serve, I felt
that his services should be kept available to the Government and that he
might, for example, be a consultant in the State Department with a mention
to be a sort of "ambassador-at-large" for atomic peace matters, having
in this respect the personal rank of ambassador, if and as he went abroad.
Admiral Strauss indicated that something like this would be agreeable to him.
