The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman)

882. Your 1189 arrived after the proposed joint message had been approved by both the Prime Minister and the President and dispatched to you this morning. Time does not, therefore, permit taking up the suggestions you raise in regard to point one. If this reaches you in time, however, and Clark Kerr feels entitled to do so on behalf of the Prime Minister, we have no objection to the deletion of the reference to your alleged statement regarding the Warsaw Government.
