The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 21—2:18 a.m.]
3605. I have received a letter from Vyshinski96 dated September 20 in reply to my letter of September 4 which was based upon the Department’s 2115, September 2, 12 p.m.,97 stating that the Soviet Government agreed that the Hungarian Regent be informed that the British, American and Soviet Governments were prepared to present surrender terms to Hungarian representative who had full powers. Vyshinski’s letter continued that the question regarding the meeting place with the Hungarian plenipotentiary could be discussed subsequently. No mention is made in the letter to the consideration of the surrender terms by the European Advisory Commission.
