let and British Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan in a move
to reunify the Western powers.
Diplomatic sources said the
conferences now are being
planned. They would be the
first top-level meetings among
these Western leaders since cool
relations developed last fall over
the British French invasion of
Egypt.
First speculation had indicated
all three men would meet to-
gether. However, recent plan
ming has been on the basis of
two separate meetings.
Mr.. Eisenhower is expected to
meet here first with Mr.. Mollet.
then fly to Bermuda for a con-
ference with Mr.. Macmillan.
probably about March 81. The
possibility that Mr.. Mollet might
go on to Bermuda was discounted
here.
There was no official con-
f1rmation of the Bermuda con-
ference either here or in London.
A White House spokesman
said until there is a complete
agreement we will have nothing
to say about it,"
Mr.. Eisenhower met in Ber-
muda in December 1853 with
