The Chargé in the Soviet Union (Kennan) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:40 p.m.]
4523. ReDeptel 2739, November 25, 10 p.m. As reported in my telegram 4311, November 10, I advised Molotov on November 10 that I was prepared to proceed with the discussions on the Hungarian [Page 930] armistice. I have had no reply from him nor has the British Ambassador received any indication of his views as to the desirability of resuming discussions at this time. I have consequently not yet presented the aide-mémoire or proposed revision of article XIII to the People’s Commissariat.
As indicated in my 4262, November 7, 2 p.m., I would prefer to do this when the article in question comes up for consideration in the course of the tripartite discussions which will presumably be held.
