The Chargé in Estonia (Leonard) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 2—11:52 a.m.]
75. I have just been informed that the Soviet military technical committee of 14 members including 6 generals, 2 engineers and other officers, arrived in Tallinn this morning and that the naval committee of 7 members including 2 admirals and 1 engineer are scheduled to arrive this evening. These committees will arrange for the delimitation of the naval and air bases provided for in the Soviet-Estonian “mutual assistance pact” which is expected to be formally ratified tomorrow in Tallinn.
Further I have been confidentially informed that the date of Munters’ visit to Moscow was not known in advance by Selter who 2 days ago had invited him to confer in Tallinn early this week.
