Description

A Department of State Diplomatic Courier (right) delivers pouched items to a U.S. Embassy Paris officer on the airport tarmac late one evening in 1957. Airline travel sharply increased the speed and frequency with which the Department communicated with its posts.

The courier likely left Washington, D.C., about noon and was perhaps delivering memoranda written and signed that morning. Source: Bureau of Diplomatic Security Files.
