Mr. President: 
Seeretary Rusk recommends you send the attached Fiftieth Anniversary message to Czechoslovak President Svoboda, for delivery on October 28th. The message notes President Wilson's role in the founding of the Czechoslovak nation. 
We would approach the Czechoslovaks informally on the question of public release. If they have no objection, the statement will be released here on the 28th following its delivery in Prague.
