[Moscow,] June 5, 1945.

Arising from your message² on the desirability of transferring meeting of the Three to an earlier date than July 15th, I should like to say once again that the date of July 15th was proposed by President Truman; and I expressed agreement with that date. Inasmuch as correspondence is taking place between you and President Truman on this subject at the moment, I shall refrain from making any new proposals about the date of our meeting.
