The Secretary of State to the Representative in Hungary (Schoenfeld)
592. In connection with his Z–857 Oct 18 you may inform Gen Key that while this Govt has not accepted as definitive the Soviet revision of the ACC statutes for Hungary and is naturally sympathetic with his desire to see activities of ACC placed on a truly tripartite basis, it feels that no useful purpose would be served by pursuing matter further through Embassy Moscow at this time.
Please request Gen Key to endeavor to avoid any discussion of this question and if it should by chance be brought up to indicate only that he is without instructions and that the matter is one for settlement at Govt level.
War Dept has been informed of contents of this telegram.
