The Acting Secretary of State to the United States Representative in Bulgaria (Barnes)

Washington, May 22, 1945—7 p.m.

138. With reference to the Department’s telegram to Schoenfeld,51 repeated to you as no. 139, you may, unless you see objections to such a procedure at just this juncture, indicate the willingness of this Government to entertain any proposals the Bulgarian Government may wish to make regarding the sending of Bulgarian representative to this country. You should make it clear that such a representative would not be accredited officially to this Government and that his [Page 220] presence here would in no sense imply a resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Sent to Sofia; repeated to Bucharest and Budapest.52
