[Received October 27—9:07 a.m.]
814. My 811, October 27, 10 a.m.81 The Chief of the Civil Air Fleet now states that there are no planes available outside of the regular scheduled planes by reason of the fact that all extra planes are occupied in bringing to Moscow delegates to the Supreme Soviet meeting to be held on October 31. He further states that the 2 o’clock plane today to Leningrad was grounded by reason of meteorological conditions. Under these circumstances I am sending Bohlen tonight by train to Leningrad in the hope that permission for him to proceed to Murmansk will be received by the time of his arrival there.
