The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 9—6:57 a.m.]
3849. ReDepts 2381, October 7, 2 p.m. I have just received a letter from Molotov of today’s date thanking me for the letter in which I informed him of the agreement of our Government to the proposed joint statement to the Regent and Government of Hungary as well as to the conducting of armistice negotiations in Moscow. Molotov goes on to say that on October 8 he was informed by Clark Kerr that the British were likewise in agreement with these proposals. Finally he asked me to inform my Government that on October 8 at 11:30 p.m. he received the Hungarian mission comprised of Colonel General Faragho Gabor, Szentivanyi Domokos and Teleki Geza and presented to them the statement in question in the name of the three Allied Governments. The Hungarian Mission undertook to transmit the statement to the Regent and Government of Hungary.
