[Received September 29—12:45 p.m.]
102. The Roumanians have agreed to evacuate Trans-Danubia except a bridgehead of about 35 kilometers mean radius from Budapest. They propose to abandon towns of Gyor, Veszprem and Szekes-fehervar within 2 days after arrival of returning Hungarian forces at 30 kilometers distance from each of them and desire 2 days additional notice of Hungarian advance. Our subcommittee on army organization has been directed to take this up immediately and proceed as rapidly as possible. If Roumanians make their offer good they should begin evacuation [in] about 5 days.
