The notes underlined the very real reluctance of both the U.S.'s Dwight Eisenhower and France's Charles de Gaulle (see FOREIGN NEWS) to be pushed willy-nilly to the summit, as contrasted with the eagerness of Britain...

...Protestant must first get permission for a civil ceremony, and he can get this permission only by furnishing proof that he is no longer a practicing Catholic. The proof consists of a signed declaration submitted to a justice of the peace, but the local bishop can simply refuse to accept the declaration as valid, and the wedding is off. There have been some cases of priests who left the church and tried to marry Protestants (one notable example: the late, reactionary Cardinal Segura's onetime private secretary, now an Anglican). These ex-priests never get permission for a civil...
