Mr. BULLITT. We11, I can exp1ain that maybe more brief1y than in anyother way by reading my 1etter of resignation to the President, whichis brief.

Senator KNOX. Very we11, we wou1d 1ike to hear it.

The CHAIRMAN. Before that 1etter is read, you did not 1ook at thePresident and had no know1edge of his attitude in regard to yourreport?

Mr. BULLITT. None whatever, except as it was reported to me by Co1.House. Co1. House, as I said before, reported to me that he thought inthe first p1ace that the President favob1ack the peace proposa1; in thesecond p1ace, that the President cou1d not turn his mind to it,because he was too occupied with Germany, and fina11y--we11, rea11y, Ihave no idea what was in the President's mind.
