Editorial Note
During the course of 1950, policy statements on Berlin were prepared for the Secretary and Under Secretary of State. Six statements and the rough draft of a seventh of this type have been identified in the Department of State files, dated January 6, January 18, February 21, March 22, April 5, and September 29. The rough draft bears no date but internal evidence suggests that it was prepared at the end of April, perhaps for the London Foreign Ministers meeting. None of these statements is printed, but the following documentation presents the basic outlines of United States policy with regard to Berlin as indicated in the seven policy statements. (762A.00/9–2950) A full collection of such statements on all the major aspects of United States foreign policy, prepared at the end of September and entitled “Policy Record Guide, The Secretary,” is in file 61100/9–2250 Bulky.
