Dear Matthews: With reference to the Aide-Mémoire which I left with you on November 19th, I am writing to say that the Soviet Government have now agreed to our suggestions for the Secretariat of the Advisory Council for Europe. They think that the Secretary-General should be elected when the Commission meets.

As Civil advisers they have appointed A. A. Sobolev,17 V. S. Kozlov18 and H. V. Rpanov [N. V. Ivanov?].18
