It is unclear whether there was <i>direct</i> pressure from the US Administration for Macmillan to be chosen, or rather whether being the candidate best placed to rebuild bridges with the Americans was simply another reason why leading Conservatives preferred him to Butler. Published accounts do not agree about the date of the meeting. Williams (2010, p. 270) lists it as happening on 20 November, a date repeated in Michael Jago's 2015 biography of Rab Butler. Macmillan's other recent biographer D. R. Thorpe gives it as 24 <i>December</i>, presumably an error as the footnote refers to Eisenhower's papers for November 1956, while in his biography of Anthony Eden (2003, p. 539) Thorpe gives it as 24 November.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEHoward1987240–241-133"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHoward1987240–241_133-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFHoward1987">Howard 1987</a>, pp. 240–241.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010353–354-134"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010353–354_134-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFThorpe2010">Thorpe 2010</a>, pp. 353–354.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTECampbell2010269-135"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTECampbell2010269_135-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFCampbell2010">Campbell 2010</a>, p. 269.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEHoward1987244-136"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHoward1987244_136-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFHoward1987">Howard 1987</a>, p. 244.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010358-137"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010358_137-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFThorpe2010">Thorpe 2010</a>, p. 358.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeckett200677–78-138"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeckett200677–78_138-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFBeckett2006">Beckett 2006</a>, pp. 77–78.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010361–362-139"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEThorpe2010361–362_139-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFThorpe2010">Thorpe 2010</a>, pp. 361–362.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-140"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-140">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Harold Macmillan, <i>The Macmillan Diaries, The Cabinet Years, 1950–1957</i>, ed.
