Marshal Stalin to President Roosevelt
Translation1
Koreis, February 11, 1945.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt: I have received your letter of February 10. I entirely agree with you that, since the number of votes for the [Page 968] Soviet Union is increased to three in connection with the inclusion of the Soviet Ukraine and Soviet White Russia among the members of the assembly, the number of votes for the USA should also be increased.

I think that the number of votes for the USA might be increased to three as in the case of the Soviet Union and its two basic Republics. If it is necessary I am prepared officially to support this proposal.

With sincere respects

I. Stalin
