Paris Peace Conf. 184.6/69: Telegram
The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Secretary of State
5006. [From Polk.] Your 3637, November 1, 5 p.m. Mission has in course of preparation much of the data requested and will forward same at the earliest possible moment.
It will be impossible to secure duplicate minutes of the Council of Four, of which Mission has had only three sets, one of which is on file here, one given to the President and one to Mr. Lansing.
With reference to the minutes of the Heads of Delegations, Mission has two sets of these which are constantly used here, but one of which could be forwarded the Department in case Department’s file has been so scattered that it must be replaced by a new file. It is practically impossible to procure additional copies of the earlier numbers of H. D. Minutes, as they were furnished us by the British Delegation and only a very limited number was available. Please advise specifically whether Department desires Mission to forward one of its two sets of H, D. Minutes.
In other respects, Mission will endeavor to furnish Department with the fullest possible indexes and files and will cable later as to when these may be expected. Polk.
