740.00119 Control (Germany)/9–1145: Telegram

The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

9304. After receiving urtel 7667, September 6, I sent following letter September 8 to EAC representatives:

“I am instructed to inform you that the US Government has approved the agreement of July 25 on certain additional requirements to be imposed on Germany except for article 38 which my Government believes is not appropriate for inclusion in a document directed to the Germans. In view of the fact that this subject relates exclusively to arrangements between the occupying powers and the fact that the EAC is no longer active my Government considers that the Control Council in Berlin is now the proper place for negotiating the subject treated in article 38.”
