Editorial Note
The Washington Tripartite Conversations on Austria’s internal security consisted of three plenary sessions, August 3, 9, and 11, and [Page 488] four working party meetings. At the first plenary the proposed United States agenda (Attachment 1 to Allen’s memorandum, supra) was adopted and working parties for the Austrian army and air force were established to report to the plenary. At the second plenary the initial reports on the army and air force were considered and referred back to their respective working parties for coordination and revision, and a committee for drafting the final report on the conversations was appointed. At the final plenary the revised air force report was accepted and the revised army report amended before adoption. The final report (infra) was adopted ad referendum to each government.
Texts of the various reports and revisions, delegation lists, and summary and verbatim minutes are in CFM Files, Lot M–88, Box 152, Tripartite Conversations–Austria.
