Veto Power? Neither Foreign Minister Pineau nor Foreign Minister Von Brentano got half as much attention from the State Department press corps as Democrat Adlai Stevenson, arriving to take part in preparations for the Paris meetings. Dulles greeted Stevenson warmly in the fifth-floor diplomatic reception room, ushered him into his office for a 90-minute discussion, then gave him the office across the hall, normally occupied by Counselor G. Frederick Reinhardt...
...across a large spread of the U.S. Taking off from the 1956 Democratic Convention, where he lost the nomination for Vice President to Tennessee's Estes Kefauver by a cliff hanging 38½ votes, Kennedy campaigned for the national ticket in 24 states-more than any Democrat except Adlai Stevenson and Kefauver.

But arrangements were touchy. Dulles wanted Stevenson to become Ambassador to NATO, a job that would empower him to head preparations for the December meeting, follow through on its decisions...
President Eisenhower agreed, despite a personal feeling of post-election coolness to Stevenson. Then Adlai declined the ambassadorship, in tune with congressional Democratic sentiment that Democrats ought to steer clear of policy-making jobs. He volunteered instead to become a consultant who would review plans, make suggestions, still be free at meeting's end to criticize results that he did not approve. For the sake of at least that much bipartisanship, Dulles agreed. So did the President. To Stevenson from Ike went a letter suggesting that they discuss issues before they leave for Paris.
