The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 29—12:10 a.m.]
663. In reply to a note from the Embassy based on Department’s 309, February 15, 7 [8] p.m., Mr. Molotov37 tells me in a note dated February 26 that the Soviet Government agrees to take part in the preliminary negotiations on the subject of postwar civil aviation and would like to receive from the United States Government preliminary material and proposals on the questions which will come up for discussion during the negotiations.
Mr. Molotov’s reply was evidently sent before receipt of my second letter to him based on the Department’s 389, February 23, 9 p.m.
- Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, Soviet People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs.↩
