The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State

8. Personal for the Secretary. For security reasons the President feels it inadvisable at this date to tell Soong of the agreement. (Your [Page 894] telegram No. 2, June 4.) On Soong’s passage through Washington en route to Moscow the President will give him a general indication of this Government’s position and our understanding of the subjects Stalin wishes to discuss with him.
