Washington , July 12, 1945—5 p.m.

5701. For the Ambassador.

Yesterday we had an oral inquiry from Halifax concerning the day on which the President and the Secretary would arrive at Terminal. Halifax explained that the Prime Minister and Eden wished to time their departure in such a way as to arrive on the same day as the President and the Secretary.

We communicated with the Secretary and have now been informed that the present schedule is arranged to permit arrival at Terminal about 3 p.m. local time Sunday, July 15. The Secretary asked that we inform you of this. We have informed Halifax.
