Meeting of the American Group

The only meeting held today was the regularly scheduled meeting of the American group. This meeting was continued in the afternoon in order to complete consideration of the revisions made in the draft proposals at the meeting on Saturday of the Joint Steering Committee.

Meeting of the Joint Steering Committee

The Joint Steering Committee did not meet owing to the fact that the Soviet group had not yet received instructions from its Government which would permit further consideration of the bracketed sections of the draft proposals. A meeting of the Joint Steering-Committee has been scheduled for Tuesday, at 11:15 a.m.
