11486. ReDepts 10687, December 23. We have informed the British of the Department’s views with respect to the amendment to Article XIII providing that the EITO agreement could be amended at any time by two-thirds of the Council, and anticipate no difficulty it securing the acceptance of the Department’s position.
The amendment referred to was not made available to the Soviets and there is, therefore, no danger of complication on that score arising out of General Obydin’s return to Moscow.
