Austria

It has therefore been decided to place in effect at once the two Agreements which provide for Allied occupation and control of Austria.

A joint statement of the arrangements which have been entered into for these purposes and for the purpose of carrying out the declared intention of establishing a free and independent Austria in accordance with the Moscow Declaration of November 1, 1943, will be issued by the four governments on ______________,2 1945.
