The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 16—10 a.m.]
3943. ReEmbs 3911, October 12, 7 p.m. I understand that the British and Russians met over the weekend for further discussion of the Bulgarian armistice terms. We were not invited to attend, and inasmuch as I have no adequate instructions which would enable me to participate in such discussions, I did not press the matter, other than to remind the British that our Government would still wish to have its say in the Advisory Commission and to urge that they keep you and Mr. Winant fully informed of the results of their conferences with the Russians. This they have promised to do.
The morning press announces the arrival in Moscow of the Bulgarian delegation for the conduct of negotiations for an armistice. The delegation is under the chairmanship of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Stainov. Its full composition and the details of arrival will go forward in a press telegram.9
Repeated to London as 214, to Rome as No. 3.
