1084. Department’s 648, August 5, 10 p.m. I presented a formal note to Vyshinski last evening outlining the proposals in question. Vyshinski referred to the “technical difficulties” of the Alsib route. I stated that my Government was submitting the proposal with the hope that negotiations between the two Governments might be initiated in the near future. Vyshinski stated that he would take the note under advisement.
