Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Stettinius)

[Washington,] November 25, 1943.

Ambassador Gromyko telephoned to inform me that General Belyaev will not return to Washington as he has been given an assignment along military lines in the Soviet Union. He informed me that Lieutenant General Ludenko [Rudenko] will come to Washington to be the head of the Soviet Government Purchasing Commission. Until his arrival, Mr. Constantin Lukashev will be in charge.
