I have received your highly important and interesting cables Nos. 291150 and 300930.47

Soong will be informed by us of Stalin’s desire to see him in Moscow not later than July 1 and we will provide the necessary air transportation.

I will, at the time of Soong’s arrival in Moscow, take up with Chiang the conditions stated at the Yalta Conference and elaborated in your cable No. 291150.
