308. Editorial Note
On March 26, 1963, Secretary of State Rusk and Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin resumed discussions on Berlin in accord with the understanding reached in Moscow between Ambassador Kohler and Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko. In a discussion with French President De Gaulle on April 8, Rusk characterized the March 26 meeting as having produced nothing new; Dobrynin “had nothing to offer beyond the repetition of theUN suggestion which they had made months before—even before the October crisis.” A further Rusk-Dobrynin meeting on April 12 again produced no new proposals. For texts of memoranda of Ruskʼs two conversations with Dobrynin and his conversation with De Gaulle, see Foreign Relations, 1961–1963, volume XV, pages 497–509.
