Editorial Note

For this luncheon meeting, Bohlen’s record states simply, “No notes available”. The information set forth above regarding the meeting and the participants is taken from the Log, ante, p. 556. According to Leahy, p. 312, “The conversation centered around voting procedure in the proposed assembly of the world peace organization. Churchill agreed orally to an arrangement whereby the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Republics should have equal voting power in the Assembly.” A notation on the Hiss notes for the Plenary Meeting of that afternoon indicates that this subject was discussed. (See post, p. 857.)
