Editorial Note
Between January 25 and February 18, Secretary Dulles met with the Foreign Ministers of the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union at Berlin to confer on European problems and to lay the groundwork for a subsequent conference on Far Eastern problems at Geneva. During the Berlin Conference, Dulles and Molotov conferred several times on the President’s atomic proposals of December 8, 1953. For documentation on the Berlin Conference, see volume VII.
