The Chairman of the Council of Peopled Commissars of the Soviet Union (Stalin) to President Truman 18

[Moscow,] June 23, 1945.

I have received your message of June 19 regarding reestablishment of diplomatic relations with Roumania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland.

I take notice that you continue to study this question. However, I adhere to my previous point of view that nothing can justify any further postponement in reestablishment of diplomatic relations with Roumania and Bulgaria.
