Washington, November 15, 1962, 10 a.m. </H3>
<P>McCloy said he had invited the fellow<A HREF="#1" NAME="b1" W3MIRHREF="http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/msc_cuba180.asp#1">(1)</A> to lunch but he told McCloy he had a date he could not cancel. He invited McCloy to come out to his place on Long Island some time during the weekend, and it was left that way. Ball asked if this would imply that Mikoyan might be there and McCloy said he didn't know; that he could not get anything out of him about Mikoyan. McCloy said he thought this would be cleared up in the next 24 hours. We can bear this in mind should the opportunity come up. </P>
<P>Ball told McCloy he would tell the President. </P>
