184. Telegram 2727 from Moscow, April 25¹

Moscow, April 25, 1963, 4 p.m.

Reftel represents record our conversation with Khrushchev as agreed between Davies and Murrell and approved by me.

Trevelyan, who was unable review record last night, has asked that following changes be made.

(1) Para eleven, last sentence to begin: “Well, Soviet Government could take back,” etc.

(2) Para 18, sixth sentence, delete “initially” and “had,” so sentence will read: “They believed national means alone were enough.”

(3) Para 30, delete from second sentence: “It could only agree on the basis of no inspections.”

I have accepted changes (1) and (2). Trevelyan is aware my intention inform Dept that he is making change (3), but that, since our notes show Khrushchev made this statement, I prefer let it stand in our version of record.
