Editorial Note

The information set forth above is derived from American minutes of the meetings prepared by Laukhuff and Reinstein of the United States Delegation. The American minutes, comprising some 15 typewritten pages of manuscript, contain no record of any subject not covered in the telegraphic reports printed here. The telegraphic reports of the meetings, comprising five pages of manuscript, include explanatory passages not present in the minutes and are, on balance, a more precise account of the meetings. One copy of the Laukhuff-Reinstein minutes of the two meetings is included in file 740.5/2–1752. Another copy of the minutes, circulated in the Department of State as document GER-London MIN 1 and 2, both April 16, 1952, is included in Conference files, lot 59 D 95, CF 103.
