The Secretary of State to Certain American Diplomatic and Consular Officers 84
The Department considers that until the situation is clarified by Rumanian and Bulgarian acceptance of Allied armistice terms and until the status of the governments of these two countries is ascertained your attitude toward their diplomatic officials should remain unchanged.
[There are a few additional papers printed in Foreign Relations, The Conferences at Malta and Yalta, 1945, pages 237–248, which present summary descriptions on what the general Balkan policy of the United States had come to be at the close of the year 1944; on consideration of the American position on the Allied Control Commissions in Rumania, Bulgaria, and Hungary; and on the attitude taken toward the principal problems that had arisen in each of these three countries.]
