I appreciate your good letter of November 2
and had the pleasure of meeting Airs. Floyd ,, Lee
this afternoon. ",he is a charming lady and I enjoyed
the opportunity of talking with her and learning of
some of the problems with which she is working in
the Latin American area.
I asked her to keep in touch with us and I
hope to see her when she is next in W 'ashington. if
she has any further problems where we could be of
any help.
Faithfully yours,
Allen VV. Dulles
Director

Mr. Allen f"r. Dulles, Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D? C?
his. Floyd A Ise of San Mateo, New Mexico, is the United States
Delegate to the Inter-American Commission of Ubmen. She has told
me on three different occa-ions of her concern over the lack of
interest in the State Department for the Latin. American and South
American countries.
She has attempted to discuss this matter with gtate Department
personnel on more than one occaeion, but apparently has been unable
to arouse interest in the ratter. She wanted to know if T had any
suggestions, and the only recommendation that T could make to her
was to discuss the matter b ith you and see if it would. be prssi.ble
to direct greeter attention to this area.
Orr conversations have covered approximately a ye?r*s time, and she
has now conclusively made rp her mind that she should discuss this
with someone. Mrs. Ise intends to be in Washington this week and
will probably get in touch with yon concerning this particular
matter. Any advice you can give her on this problem would be
greatly appreciated by her, and T have told her that she would en-
joy meeting you and talk7.rr to you, anrrway.
T wish you continued success in your chosen field of thankless
responsibility.
