21 October 1969 from Le Monde. 17 October 1969:
In the cours^ of discussions on the budget, the ways and means committee of the French National Assembly came to the conclusion that the main reason for the increase in the Foreign Affairs budget was the increase in the French contribution to international --in '"'"" i -mim-n ---- ~*mn*mc**aaaoitn*u^~^'*f*~~^ organizations. Several members of the committee, and among them MrTLoui,^-^lB^»i5ialttoicirti3*WBB^l?'s Joxe- , former Gaullist minister, have expressed their concern over this increase. Mr. Jean-Paul Palewski suggested an inquiry by the Cour des Comptes (the audit office which supervises the expenses of the public administrations) on the expenses of these international organizations. ~
**#*****
(Tftis attitude might lead, if not to a cut in the French participation in the financing of international organizations, at least to impeding any increase in the contribution. You might be interested in knowing that Mr. Palewski, who is a very influential member of Parliament, is arriving tonight and will remain some time with the French delegation.) 19 November 1969 RdeB/ksn
Note for the Secretary-General
A special commemorative medal has been issued by the French province of Corsica on the occasion of the Bicentennial of Napoleon Bonaparte. President Pompidou has been presented with a gold medal and the provincial council of Corsica has decided to present you with a silver medal. Ambassador Be"rard has been authorized to arrange this with you. President Nixon will also receive one from the French Ambassador in Washington. The French Mission, having received an authorization from Paris, does not see any objection to the presentation. Ambassador Be"rard is anxious, however, not to create a precedent. He will probably discuss this question with you, among other things, this afternoon. One of the suggestions would be for him to give you the medal either just before or just after the reception for Mr. Ganem Thursday evening, in the presence of Mr. Buson who is a journalist but acts as a delegate from the provincial council of Corsica. Mr. BeVard also suggests that, if you wanted to reduce the importance of the presentation, the medal could be handed to you by Mr. Buson himself. The provincial council of Corsica would certainly appreciate having a photograph taken of you with Ambassador B^rard and Mr. Buson, but the French Mission would like to have your views on that point. Ambassador Be'rard will probably also ask you if Mr. Wolff from AFP Tsould either be present or kept informed. In any case, the French Mission considers that this presentation does not necessitate a formal ceremony.
Rene" de Branche UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION
Text of the document accompanying the medal:
The Mayor of the City of Ajaccio and the Municipal Council of the Imperial City respectfully request Mr. Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to honour them by accepting the silver medal issued in commemoration of the Bicentennial of the birth of Napoleon I, Emperor of France, as a testimonial of gratitude of our compatriots for the Secretary-General's actions for peace.

Note for the Secretary-General
Following our conversation of yesterday, I have located the text of President Pompidou's reference to the United Nations in his speech to the diplomatic corps on 1st January 1970;
"France, even if it is not directly concerned vith these conflicts /~Viet-Nam, the Middle East, Biafra_/ ... cannot declare itself satisfied with the existing situation. France believes that the United Nations, and particularly the big Powers, permanent members of the Security Council, must demonstrate effectively, independently as well as collectively, their desire for peace, whether this involves creating the preliminaries for peace, defining its conditions or guaranteeing its maintenance."
My interlocutors at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs stressed the unusual character of this reference to the United Nations in a speech made by the President of the Republic.

"Today this is the case of France. But the important thing is to feel within ourselves the profound conviction that we are united as regards the essentials. 'The essential in our world is peace, which depends more on the strong than on the weak and lays particular responsibili- ties on the former." It was in his answers to questions at the lunch that Mr. Pompidou sought most directly to clarify France's controversial policies in the Middle East— the- most important area of French-American differences at this time—and to enunciate his views on the United States' role in Europe, and particularly toward France. Throughout the day Mr. Pompidou appeared relaxed and pleased with the reception af- forded him. He smiled with satisfaction when the Marine Corps Band played the French World War I march, "Le Regi- ment de Sembre et Meuse" as he reviewed the honor guard with Mr. Nixon. At lunch he joked easily in answering the questions.

Mr. Faure is on an unofficial trip to the United States, visiting several universities and delivering lectures. He was received by U.S. Vice President Agnev In Washington. Mr. Faure had been sent by General de Gaulle on unofficial missions to China before France resumed diplomatic relations with that country and he has undertaken several visits to the Middle East. He is presently a member of the French parliament and is considered to be one of the most influential of the French politicians. I am certain that his meeting with the Secretary-General will be of great Interest to both of them. j-L MU^ Hw Ben<* de Branche cc. Mr. .JJarasimhan Mr. Muller / '.'•'"-'•. ;' Mrs..

I would like to express to you my most sincere thanks and to tell you how touched I am by your thoughtfulness and that of the French Government towards me. I am deeply honoured, as is the United Nations, by the reception that the French authorities had prepared for me. I regret all the more that I was obliged to cancel my trip to Europe. In fact, after a new medical examination which I underwent recently, my doctors strongly advised me not to undertake any important travel because of my health which had recently been weakened by fatigue and because of the prospect of the demanding burdens of the forthcoming session of the General Assembly . to_have also regret having been deprived of an opportunity / an exchange of views with Your Excellency on the many problems to which France and the United Nations endeavour to find a solution. I would have liked to continue with you the fruitful dialogue which we had initiated ton the occasion of our meeting in Paris on my x^ / return from Africjii January 1970 and during your official visit to the United Nations a few months later. May I take this opportunity to tell you again howi much, during my two mandates as Secretary-General, I have appreciated the contribution of your country to the efforts undertaken by the Organization in favour of peace, justice and development.
