“Вчера во время горячих прений в Первом комитете по корейскому вопросу , вероятно, в результате резких наскококов наших противников и в частности гоминьдановца Таянга[Цзян Тинфу], Киселев, отвечая Таянгу, обронил следующую фразу :” и если господин Таянг думает, что уже может раздаваться гром победы, то он глубоко ошибается. Эту ошибку он скоро почувствует”.
За это заявление Киселева ухватились Янгер и Остин, отметив это в своих выступлениях.
После заседания я указала Киселеву на допущенный им промах. Кроме того, этот вопрос обсужден сегодня на совещании делегации. Киселев полностью признал допущенную им оплошность.

Top Secret
Yesterday during heated debates about the Korean issue in the First Committee as a result of sharp attacks by our opponents and the participation of the Nationalist Chinese [representative] Tsiang Tingfu [Jiang Tingfu] in particular, Kiselev probably let drop the following phrase when replying to Tsiang, "…and if Mr. Tsiang thinks that the thunder of victory can already be heard he is deeply mistaken. He will soon feel this mistake".
[Younger] and [Austin] grasped onto this statement of Kiselev's, noting it in their statements.
After the meeting I pointed out to Kiselev the blunder he had made. In addition, this issue was discussed today at a meeting of the delegation. Kiselev completely admits the slip he made.
