Poles 20. The Department is repeating to you its telegram to Moscow in reply to Poles 67, June 14, and Moscow’s 282 of June 16 to you.9 For the reasons given by Harriman, please impress on Mikolajczyk the necessity for him and Stanczyk to proceed to Moscow [Page 343] as soon as possible. He should not delay his departure beyond June 16. You should also inform him of the tenor of the instructions given to Harriman urging him to press for the acceptance by the Commission of one of Mikolajczyk’s three proposals contained in your Poles 67, June 14, in the event that it is not possible to make arrangements to bring Witos to Moscow. Please coordinate with Ambassador Winant in regard to this matter.
