2. With regard to the meeting of our three representatives I propose that we consider as settled the place of meeting—Moscow, and also the time of the meeting—October 4—as the President has proposed.
I also believe that in the interest of the success of this meeting it is necessary to know in advance those proposals which the English and American Governments have to discuss at the meeting of the three representatives. I have already written about this. In this respect, however, I do not propose any limitations in regard to the agenda.
