182. Molotov, Balfour and I met last night for the first time with the Hungarian delegates and submitted the armistice terms to them.
They have been given until 2 o’clock today to familiarize themselves with the terms, and we are to meet with them again at that hour to hear their comments. It is possible, depending on the Hungarian reaction, that the signing may take place this afternoon.
Harriman
