The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt)
264. The President concurs with our view that it will not be necessary for you to remain in Moscow until Troyanovsky’s arrival. You and we have done all that is possible in the way of making a most liberal proposal. Our information is to the effect that Troyanovsky believes it should be accepted and that his trip to Moscow is on his own initiative to endeavor to persuade his Government to accept it. [Page 154] This being assumed, you may consider that it is best to let him talk the matter to a conclusion without our further intervention. Accordingly, you can leave Moscow whenever you may think proper to do so.
