7149. Department’s telegram 6372, December 16, 8 p.m. Eden tells me that it is unfortunately too late to make the insertion desired by the Department. He says that the text has been agreed upon by Moscow and by the Allied Governments and that it would be impossible to clear the change before the agreed time of release.
