The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
7821. ReEmbs 7824, September 21.26 Department agrees to transmittal by the Foreign Office in the name of the two Governments, of copy of EITO Draft Agreement to UNRRA, presumably under similar letter of transmittal as Foreign Office has used to send copies to Allies but without reference to participation at conference. Department will endeavor to keep UNRRA here informed of subsequent EITO developments. Department has no objection to Foreign Office’s proposal to instruct British Ambassador in Moscow to inform Soviet Government that ACC for Italy is being invited to send representatives to EITO conference, although Soviet Government will presumably be informed through its representative on ACC for Italy. However, Department is not prepared at this time to concur in the Foreign Office’s proposal that suggestion be made to Soviets that Control Commission for Rumania be represented at EITO conference. Hooker will explain on arrival.27 ReEmbs 7869, September 22.26
